We're expanding across England & Wales, rolling out county by county building a national network for land, livestock and opportunity.
"Farmers don't need another expert telling them what to do - they need someone who's been there"
Sarah Juggins is an author, journalist and Norfolk livestock farmer who runs a herd of Wagyu cattle across West Norfolk. As Director of the North Norfolk Coastal Group and facilitator for the River Mun Catchment Group, she's spent years sitting at the table where farming decisions get made."I know what it's like to be time-poor, sceptical of new tools and drowning in paperwork," says Sarah. "So when I'm working with farmers on the platform, I'm not coming at it from the outside. I've got the same mud on my boots."
“It’s tough for younger people like me to get started with my own flock but knowing that there was a cohort of farmers willing to give me an opportunity has been really motivational. I am also helping farmers get livestock onto arable land, which we all know is really beneficial.”
