Having grown a bit sick of the silly conservation vs farming narrative, last year I started on a series of articles about farmers doing great things for #nature in #Cumbria. I didn't do one on @herdyshepherd1, but thankfully, I had lots of other farms to choose from. (THREAD) 
First up (unsurprisingly) was @wildhaweswater, where I'm lucky enough to work as site manager. We are hoping to show how sustainable upland farming can work alongside ecological restoration. We're learning lots in the process. @Natures_Voice leeschofield.co.uk/farming-with-n…
Next, I visited Sam & Claire at @gowbarrow, on the beautiful shores of Ullswater. They're doing brillinat regenerative farming, with cattle, pigs and ponies. leeschofield.co.uk/farming-with-n…
It dawned on me that I post photos of my cows and the land, but not much about us. So here we go....
We are David and Bekka. Husband and wife. 33 years old. We are not from a farming background and have been farming without a farm for 3 years.

So what is #farmingwithnature? It's not an accreditation or a sticker on a steak. It's our deep belief about how we should manage our countryside. On our holding, that means producing beef from grasslands where crops won't grow.

In these wild places, it's also our job to make sure that our farm provides homes for wildlife, allows water to behave naturally, and cycles carbon in a way that that benefits our climate.
