Barrister. Mother. Writer. Farmer.

“In 2017 I moved with my family to the Suffolk countryside where I was given the opportunity to take on the running of my parent-in-law’s arable and pasture farm.  Transforming it from conventional to organic regenerative methods made me fall in love with the land.  Over the seven years I managed the farm I realised the power and potential those who grow our food and care for our countryside have to change our world for the better.  My second book Rooted: Stories of Life, Land, and a Farming Revolution published July 2022 by Viking (Penguin Random House), is the story of my unexpected journey into regenerative farming woven around the real life stories of those who taught me what it meant to become a farmer.

I now write freelance for newspapers and magazines, predominately on issues of sustainability both in and out of the field, and am frequently asked to chair, moderate and speak at events within the sustainability space.”
