Farming background

Born and raised in rural Somerset, and have been interested in and enjoyed farming from an early age. I have worked on livestock and arable farms in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, with two lambing seasons. I work full-time in forest conservation now, but I love lambing so I'm hoping to secure weekend work this season.
