Talk: In conversation with Jen Hunter from Fernhill Farm
Discover the story of Fernhill Farm - from dilapidated ancient farmstead to regenerative eco farm
Fernhill Farm is a regenerative eco farm and events venue on the Mendip Hills. Owners Andy Wear and Jen Hunter run commercial flocks of approximately 3000 Romney Shetland sheep selectively bred for fine colourful fibre, mature meat qualities, hardiness and their ability to restore biodiversity when continually grazing in larger nomadic-style flocks.
Join Jen for a fascinating talk offering a unique insight into the work Jen and her family do on their farm, and hear about their passion for conservation, regenerative agriculture, rural skills and natural fibres. Jen will be ‘in conversation’ with film maker Tevor Pitts whose film, ‘Somerset Yarnings’ documents the lifecycle of the wool they produce.
