“'I'm seen as a fool': farmers fill fields with trees in quest for better cows.” Patrick Barkham visits Elston as the trial planting goes into the red soil.
The Devon silvopasture trial features in the Plant Britain special, filmed among Elston's first-year alleys.
Andy Gray, finalist — recognised for farming for the future. “The nomination recognises the work of the many great people involved at Elston Farm.”
“The Fool on the Hill?” — an episode on Elston's bet that trees and livestock belong together.
“Pandemic Pivot” — how the butchery rebuilt itself in a week when 80% of its trade closed overnight.
FarmingUK, Farmers Weekly, Crediton Courier and others on the trial, the planting days and the farm's slow, deliberate change.
Press enquiries, filming requests and farm visits: sales@mckelly.co.uk — we host researchers, journalists and planting volunteers through the year.
