TEY BROOK FARM

Richard Browning took on the family farm in 1981, having trained at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, and at that time it was a conventionally run arable farm, which had been in the family for 3 generations... In the 1990's farmers were being encouraged to grow genetically modified crops, which he felt great resistance to, and decided to make the move to farm organically. This seemed like a natural progression as he had already planted 35 acres of woodland, 5km of hedging and brought in livestock to make a mixed farming system.
