Farm Deep Dive with Rebecca Mayhew

In this in depth account of a single farm, we will hear from Rebecca Mayhew, who alongside her husband, Stuart and their two children, owns Old Hall Farm in South Norfolk. Rebecca and Stuart have converted a once intensively farmed pork unit covering 500 acres into a regenerative oasis. The farm now has multiple farming enterprises, including a 60-head Jersey herd producing raw milk that is sold locally and nationally and within which the calves are kept ‘at foot’, a suckler herd, sheep, pigs, goats and laying hens. The family have also successfully developed an award-winning farm shop and cafe, as well as a butchery and vineyard. Central to their transition was Holistic Management Training, which they completed in 2020. Rebecca will articulate the challenges and rewards of rapid change, multiple enterprises, and farming with family.
