NEXT GENERATION – OUR FARMING JOURNEYS – CUMBRIA

Join us and guest speakers to explore ways to diversify your farm business and learn how to apply for a small grant of up to £750.

After a 7pm buffet, hear from three young farmers shaping their futures in the industry:

• Matthew Fearon and Ruby Nicholson (Hollows Farm, Borrowdale), who used a Next Generation grant to start selling their own meat.
• Vicky Slater (Strudda Bank Farm, near Calderbridge), who has expanded into education visits and camping pods to support farm income.
• Jemima Green (Snittlegarth Farm), who combines contract farming, veterinary work, and tourism ventures.

They’ll share practical steps they’ve taken and lessons learned, followed by guidance on applying for the grant. To book your place click HERE.
