Sam moved over to manage Bedfordia Farms on the 6th January this year and is already settling in well with the onsite team.
Sam said: ‘I am delighted to have the opportunity to manage Bedfordia’s arable operation. It ticks a lot of my boxes in terms of being local, a considerable size and an interesting set up with the new environmental stewardship schemes and the use of biofertilizers digestate and slurry. We have a talented team at Bedfordia and with Velcourt’s support and resources, I really am very excited for the future.’
Sam is working from Bedfordia’s offices at Milton House Farm, Milton Ernest.
