Mary-Jane Lawrie visits Whitriggs Farm in the Scottish Borders to speak to Lesley Mitchell.  They chat about the family farm and how it has evolved over the years, their openness to challenges and change, and how that has allowed Lesley and her family to build a business that supports the family whilst also allowing a good work life balance.  Once key change has been converting the business to organic and following a more regenerative agriculture approach, which has required a change in mindset.  The farm now runs cattle and deer alongside their organic arable enterprise, making the most of their skills, time and farm assets.  Lesley also talks about how she personally makes time for learning, which recently resulted in a trip to Antartica. FAS Resources  Organics For more information, visit www.FAS.scot Twitter: @FASScot Facebook: @FASScot National Advice Hub Phone: 0300 323 0161 Email: [email protected]
