Soil Association Scotland Organic Producer Board Member
Rachel and her husband returned to the family farm in 2019, and began the farm’s organic conversion from intensive arable, sowing 65 acres of diverse herbal leys.
Since 2021, they have gradually established a flock of Scottish Merino sheep, producing super-soft hand knitting yarn, which is processed in Yorkshire, and sold both wholesale and retail.
They also sell lamb and hogget directly to consumers. Recently, they have planted 1,600 meters of 3-meter-wide hedgerows and have introduced Dexter cattle to graze their 65-acre woodland.
