“The farm is now busy every day of the year and about half of the farm income is now from non-farm activities. But farming and food production is the life blood of my day.”
My family have farmed for generations and can be traced back to the mid-1300s on my mother’s side and to at least 1750 on my father’s side of the family. Maybe that’s why my earliest memories are on the farm, and of wishing to farm the land.
Fuller’s Hill Farm has been in the family for about 100 years. I took over the management of the farm when I was 22. Since then, I have managed to double the farmed area and expand the business into non-farm activities such as a small airfield on the farm. Over the past 10 years I have redeveloped the redundant Victorian farm buildings into self-catering holiday lets. The farm is now busy every day of the year and about half of the farm income is now from non-farm activities. But farming and food production is the life blood of my day.
