Olly joined a Wildlife Trust youth group as a child and has always felt a deep connection with nature. Ten years ago he moved with his wife Rachel to farm at Essebeare. They have four children and have planted miles of hedgerows and thousands of trees as well as recreating thirty hectares of species rich hay meadows and two orchards. They keep hardy native breeds and do rotational grazing. They also use herbal leys and are exploring agroforestry.

Together with two neighbouring farms they are part of the innovative Dayshul Brake, the very first rewilding cluster in Britain! Organic regenerative farming alongside a rewilding project has been inspirational and helped them think deeper about their farming practices.
