I have always been extremely interested in environmental issues and an avid supporter of organic, locally-sourced food, this has shaped my career to date. I started working in environmental consultancy immediately after graduating, specialising in the environmental assessment of many waste disposal and infrastructure projects in the UK and further afield. In more recent years I have been involved with research projects concerning recycling and waste minimisation. In amongst the academic work, I managed to squeeze in the setting up and running of my own organic food retail shop. I sold this business in 2002 but I am happy to say it remains trading today.
When the opportunity to work at The Community Farm came my way, I jumped at the chance. I love everything about working at the farm; my colleagues, the atmosphere, the volunteers, the food, the mud, the ethos of the farm and the complete commitment of everybody here.
