Farmer and Grower Board Member

I have been born and bred into Organic Farming at Rushall in Wiltshire, as we have been organic from when my Grandfather Barry converted the farm to organic in 1970. I joined the family business in 2012, and have enjoyed all the challenges that we have come across. We farm about 5,000 acres on the chalk, north of the Salisbury Plain in the Vale of Pewsey. We are an entirely arable enterprise currently growing Spelt, Oats and Barley, and our clover leys are let out to local graziers. We also run a 5,000 tonne organic grain store, which can dry and clean not only our own grain, but grains for other organic farmers too.
