We were so honoured and delighted to win the “New Entrant – Against the Odds” at the British Farming Awards (the “Farming Oscars”!). Fortunately we weren’t required to make an acceptance speech, but if we had, it would have followed the classic Oscars format and been a list of huge Thank Yous to all the brilliant people who have helped, supported and advised us over the past few years. It’s been a huge learning journey and we wouldn’t be where we are now without them.
What started as an idea and a couple of acres has grown to over 200 acres, 20 land partnerships and projects and an ever-growing herd and flock. It’s been hard work but an absolute dream come true. We have lots of exciting plans in the pipeline for 2024 and this award has been a huge boost to our ambitions and our confidence to continue to try innovate new models. We’re so grateful to the farming community to welcoming us in!
