Sir Julian began organic farming in 1975, when he was only one of seven in England to do so. One of his reasons for joining Landshare is to encourage other landowners to follow suit:
"What I'm hoping is that by setting some sort of example as a landowner, other landowners will see that it's not so terrifying."
A warm welcome to Sir Julian!

Wow! That's absolutely fantastic, and if you have any sway in the Scarborough, North Yorkshire area, please please could you move someone into doing the same here?
Heartening to read your post,
