Mike Adams
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.

Mike aims to grow his tree planting efforts, focusing on the environmental, health, welfare, and economic benefits of agroforestry.
