The new shed is really coming on. We are gonna be finished sooner than we thought but for this weekend it’s back to normal Farming 🇬🇧 duties. I tend the sheep roy mucks the cows out and we both get on with tidying up the yard that we’ve been neglecting lots and lots of throwing out crushing barley And general yard jobs. I find an UN alive Sheep and explain what goes on when something on the farm reaches its expiration date, the printing of the concrete with the honeycomb roller is quite exciting yet doesn’t do it as deep as what we thought it would never mind one day they will be to regrew But this isn’t a problem the office and tank room are nearly complete. Me and Roy pick up the wood for the ceiling or floor. Depends on how you look at it. Dean does more digging in fact he doesn’t stop digging. We are really excited for the future robot rooms come on Wednesday Rufus wants to know where his tea is and it’s been a good normal farming day doing jobs we have been neglecting.


in 2009 i had no experience of farming or the realities that came with it. That soon changed when I met my other half Roy, I had a job as a carer and in every spare moment threw myself into farming. I had only ever driven a Nissan Micra and had experience with horses, I learnt the hard way as nobody had the time to show me and soon after arriving I found myself mothering on calves to three quarter bred limmy cows. We spent every available moment on the farm between our day jobs. Fast forward to 2016 two children later we moved into our very own farm overlooking the northern Pennines, Laitha.

we are in a transitional period at present and will finally be milking cows and making the final switch later this year, after years of planning and implementing infrastructure we will be milking 120 Jersey cows on two Lely robots. This will be a huge change and a steep learning curve

I will be taking you all along for the ride so hit that subscribe button and see you every other day for farming vlogs.

I am overjoyed to be a farmer. I feel so fortunate every day to wake up and do what I love and even better share it with the world and hope it inspires more young people from Preston to spread their wings and think outside the box the world doesn’t need more childcare workers or hairdressers it needs more farmers.
