Event Description
Andy has spent a lifetime in and around with agriculture. As a kid working on local farms, via a degree from Newcastle University, to a career in farm consultancy with ADAS – the (then) government advisory service for farmers. He never lost sight of the dream to farm, but with no farm to inherit and discouragement from family, school and university, the dream was fading. Family and job responsibilities were taking up too much energy and time until he and his wife Frances found Whyle House. A remote property in deepest Herefordshire with a few acres to play with. Ten hobby sheep arrived, followed by a few more. An opportunity to take redundancy led to an expansion of the farming and, more importantly, the need to make money meant diversification into retailing. And so began the story of Whyle House Lamb.
You can follow their story in Andy’s newly published book, It Wasn’t Meant to be Like This – the unintended but entirely predictable consequences of keeping sheep
