Episode 11 - James Robinson from Strickley Farm
It was real pleasure to be speak with James and hear all about his farm, family and herd of Shorthorn cattle, who's family line goes back the 5 generations the Robinsons have been at Strickley! 15 years as organic dairy farmers the family farming the same land is ancestors have, laying the same hedges and mending the stone walls, this corner of Cumbria has remained relatively unscathed from modern farming, but mainly due to its awkward landscape, which has been its saving grace! If you want to geek out on hedges, this is the listen for you! Passion & pride are at the forefront of this conversation, I hope you enjoy!

Episode 10 - Susan & Shay - @Seaviewfarms
I loved talking with Susan and Shay about their #regenerativeagriculture journey. They are so passionate about they are doing, regenerating the environment while producing nutrient rich food. An unhealthy obsession with the dung beetle and the love of electric fencing are some of the things we talk about.  Most research and books about regenerative agriculture are North American based, Susan is keen to so their own research on the farm, to show Uk farmers that it really does work! Susan and Shay are just starting out on their journey and realise they have the flexibility to take risks, and this is a privilege! I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as i did!  @seaviewfarms Books- Greg Judy

Episode 9: Charlie Beaty - @globetrottingfarmgirl
It was a pleasure talking to Charlie aka @globetrottingfarmgirl, as we sat under a tree in a field Meridan, literally middle earth, where she farms with her Dad and Uncle Tom, sheep, beef and arable. Charlie has done so much in such a short time, having grown up on the farm she was 'actively encouraged' to help with the jobs, especially the child friendly sized sheep and steer the Landrover set in low gear (I love being a farm kid!), to going to Harper Adams to study, a placement year with Claas dealership as a demo driver, then off to Oz and NZ on a gap year, saying YES to opportunities! saying YES to getting involved from YFC to NSA bursaries and YES to education! YES to social media and the communitiy and friendship it opens up! YES to new ideas and ways of thinking... The next step... Regenerative farming; after reading Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown, 3 times herself and getting Dad and Uncle Tom to also read it and get on board. Charlie IS one to watch...  find her on Instagram for her daily farming life!

Episod 8 - Sam Kenyon @GlanLlyn_farmher
It was lovely to spend time talking to Sam on her sunny farm in Denbighshire in North Wales. Sam, who met her husband, Alex whilst backpacking around Australia and Thailand came back to the farm a few years ago. Both had been diving instructors in Thailand and had seen the destruction and pollution being created by humans. On coming back to Wales, to take over the running of the family farm, Sam has taken on the gauntlet of 'If we want to be SEE the change, we need to BE the change'.  Sam is building up her flock of sheep, and her herd of goats to work with the farm, not against it. Living alongside a river that floods annually, she is reclaiming tenanted land back along the river and returning it to meadow land, to ease erosion and take advantage of the nutritious silt that is left behind. Being curious, asking questions, working on other farms and taking advantage of training by Farming Connect has been invaluable.  Sam's passion for what she has achieved and will achieve is inspiring! Enjoy hearing her talk about Glan Llyn.  @glanllyn_farmher
