About Me

I live and work on our family livestock farm in the beautiful Weald of Kent with my husband Tristan and our two teenage children.  I built and run a horse livery that provides local jobs including apprenticeships.  

I have a degree in Earth Sciences and have worked in both the private and the public sector and have amassed a variety of transferrable skills.  I work as an Environmental Advisor part time for the private sector.

I love farming and rural life and am passionate about British Food, the quality of our farming here in Britain and the value of food security.  We must seek to preserve our rural identity, our  sustainable farming methods and our high standards.

​

Family Life

I am married to Tristan (a farmer) and have lived on the family farm just outside of Marden for 18 years.  The farm has a rich history and  has been in my husbands family since 1866!  We have two children, Evie and George.
Tristan is really more a “farmer builder” than a farmer (that’s what the kids call him) and he built the horse livery that I now manage on the farm.  I employ local people and take on apprentices from time to time to train.  I really enjoy combining my love of the outdoors with family time and my own special interest of riding horses and providing them with the best care.  
Tristan and I applied for and got Higher Level Stewardship for the farm working with Natural England and have now been managing the farm to maximise environmental benefits and educational access since 2009.
