I’m back home after a fantastic day delivering training, on behalf of @the_allertonproject, to staff from @ruralpay, @defrauk, @naturalengland staff, supported by the hosts, The Holliday family at Dobcross Hall in Cumbria. Great hosts, great weather, great feedback!

Tomorrow, I’m travelling in the Borders. I’ve an appointment on farm near Berwick on Tweed in the AM but I’d welcome the opportunity to stop and talk Sustainable Farming or Farm Succession Management with someone after lunch. If anyone in the Borders fancies a chat, message me!

A couple of frantic hours, last night means that I’m nearly ready to welcome guests to my first ever trade stand @southwellploughingmatch
I’m hoping to see loads of people to chat about my services or just have a yarn.

I recently had the chance to brush up on my First Aid training. Farming has the worst record for workplace injuries & deaths of any sector so I thought I should be properly prepared. Would you be confident to administer CPR or apply a tourniquet to save a colleague or family members life?

Having had a great time promoting my services at groundswell, I’m looking forward to doing the same thing at Southwell Ploughing Match. I’ll be there to talk about my latest course for farmers (Understanding Farm Finances) as well as my other services. It would be great to see you & have a chat!

Are you a farmer who would like to get a better grasp of the business side of the farm? Perhaps you touched on business at Uni or College but it’s been a while and you’re feeling rusty? This course will help!

It was lovely to meet up with Milly Fyfe, for a much needed ☕️ in @thecountrysidekitchen_ As usual, she’s full of ambition & ideas but who knew she’s become a retailer, too? Lots of homegrown meat and eggs as well as local produce in the shop!
The farming world needs more Millys! I’ll be back soon 😋

I had a great day with James Thompson and Natalie Elms, judging the Notts FWAG award. 3 very worthy finalists in David Rose, John Charles-Jones & Adrian Baugh which made for some tough conversations amongst the three judges. The winner will be announced in a few days. Until then my lips are sealed!

One of the challenges of being self employed is keeping up with CPD. I recently spent 3 days on a course entitled "Creating Engaging Videos for Marketing" at Nottm Trent Uni. I'm hoping to improve the quality of my social media so feel free to comment with constructive advice if you think I need it!

The 2025 @Groundswellaguk festival didn't disappoint! My first time exhibiting was well received and I met dozens of people, made new friends and, hopefully, built relationships with some new clients. Not to mention the great street food, beers and ciders which helped too! What a great event!

It's been all go, lately! There're brand new services available, designed in response to requests for help from farmers.
This is about helping a farming family identify the right person or people to take over the business, provide them with the skills and experience they'll need

resources are beginning to arrive ahead of Groundswell, next week. It's getting a little bit exciting because this will be the first time I have exhibited at an event to promote my own Sustainable Farming Consultancy. If you're there, please call in and say hello!
June 25, 2025 at 1:45 PM
I'm excited to tell you that I will be exhibiting at Groundswell 2025 to promote my services which are designed to help farmers improve the sustainability and resilience of their businesses. It would be great to see you for a chat. Comment if you’re going too?

It’s a beautiful morning for the first day at @CerealsEvent and I’m looking forward to a packed couple of days of learning and meeting people! If anyone wants to have a catch-up just drop me a message! #backbritishfarming #sustainablefarming

It was great to meet up with some of the movers and shakers in the Succession Alliance to make plans for our activities over the coming months…. There’s going to be so many exciting events, workshops and activity all designed to raise the profile of Family Farm Succession!

Here’s my chat with @MTF_podcast & Amy Fry. Amy & I are among the founders of the @farm_succession Succession Alliance, a group of farm succession specialists who decided we needed to try something different to get farming families talking. youtu.be/VsrYR7WdSds?si… via @YouTube

After a great day at the @isleofwightfarmingconference I’m onboard the @wightlinkferry ferry. A well planned and informative event which attracted a sell-out crowd of farmers. It was worth every minute and a privilege to be invited to speak. #backbritishfarming🇬🇧 #sustainablefoodandfarming @robynmunt

The #IsleofWight farming community are gathering for the 2025 Isle of Wight Farming Conference. There’s a real buzz in the room on a bright spring morning at @Eastaftonfarm #SustainableFarming #farminguk #backbritishfarming

I’m driving down to the #isleofwight on 26th Feb for the #IOWfarmingconference2025. I wonder whether there are any farmers along the way who fancy a chat about sustainable farming and their business or how to talk about family farm succession. FOC except for a nice cup of coffee! #100cupsofcoffee
February 17, 2025 at 4:24 PM
The themes of the #lincsfarmingconference2025 is so aligned to the work that I do, I could almost’ve written the agenda! Helping #newentrants onto the farming ladder, facilitating family meetings & planning farm business succession, farming sustainability & #regenerativefarming

There're many things I'm passionate about. I'm passionate about #sustainablefarming & I love to #givealittleback by teaching farm business modules at NTU. I like to #walkthetalk & I sometimes cycle into Brack'. I'm not willing to brave the weather but it's refreshing to cycle in on a bright morning.

What a thought provoking, informative and inspiring day I’ve had at the LEAF Conference in London, today. Highlights included Dr Douglas Gurr from the Natural History Museum talking about Climate Change and Nick Evans from Oxbury Bank explaining how his business is offering discounts to LEAF farmers
