2025
Mike, a first-generation mixed farmer from Rutland, started his sheep flock in 2005 and expanded into beef and arable farming. Achieving Organic Certification in 2023, his passion for agroforestry grew after an NSA Erasmus trip, where he saw the effects of extreme weather. In late 2023, he began tree planting on his farm, continuing into 2024 and 2025. Mike aims to grow his tree planting efforts, focusing on the environmental, health, welfare, and economic benefits of agroforestry.
