Tom runs Mindrum Farm, a mixed farm in the Cheviot Foothills of North Northumberland running 1000 Suffolk Mule Ewes, around 100 Shorthorn / Angus Suckler cows and some rather thin arable ground. Whilst Mindrum has always had a strong agro-envionmental thread, we shifted to a biology led agroecological operating model in 2019, completing organic conversion in 2022.

Tom uses a range of regenerative tools and frameworks, including “on farm microscopy” to monitor soil and animal health and inform management decisions.  Most of our inputs are made on farm.
