I was born in Jamaica and came to the UK in the 50s, where I was raised in poverty in inner city Birmingham. It was here that my dream to own a farm began, as I, the eldest boy, had the responsibility of helping my father attend the family allotment. From a family of eleven, living in a small two-up two-down, the sense of space and freedom that the allotment provided instilled in me a love of being outdoors, nurturing plants that would provide much needed food for me and my family. It took me over forty years, and a very varied career, before I fulfilled that dream and bought my small farm in Devon. It is here that I keep a small number of cattle – North and
South Devons – which, in my view produce some of the finest beef you will ever taste. Click here to find out more...

As I don’t have sufficient space on my farm for many animals, and as a passionate supporter of British farming, all the meat for The Black Farmer®
products comes from British Quality Assured farms around the country.
