Accomplishments
Our farm caravan site won the 'Best Family Friendly Site' last year.
But my biggest achievement to date has been taking on a new entrant joint farm tenancy with my husband in 2007. The farm of 70ha (173ac) had been abandoned and we have grown it to 122ha (300ac) using a low disturbance system and a small suckler herd of beef shorthorn crosses.
