The Future of Organic

From accountant to first generation organic dairy farmer: Sarah Swadling meets Sophie Gregory on the farm she runs with her husband, Tom, in Dorset.

Sophie Gregory tells Sarah Swadling about the journey she made from accountancy to managing an organic dairy herd. Sophie and her husband Tom took on a tenant farm in Dorset when they were in their mid twenties. Soon, she swapped the juggle of office work, family, and the farm for looking after the cows full-time. Sophie reflects on the difficult economics of organic farming during a cost of living crisis and the scholarship taking her around the world, examining the future for organics.
