Good Grub Co-Op

Family Business
Hertfordshire, HRT
10.2011 - 10.2018

A family enterprise evolving from the accumulation of a flock of sheep which later developed into a cooperative. I assisted regularly with the upkeep and maintenance of a flock of surplus 100 sheep. This was a set up to teach agriculture to the locals in my village. We regularly held open days giving people the opportunity a first hand insight into farming and the joys it can bring.

This family set top allowed me to become very self sufficient and have a better understanding and appreciation as to where things come from and the processes behind them.
