Hi
I’m Tez and I live in Moray with my wife, Sandra. I’m originally from the West Riding where I grew up in a small farming community. Dad was a farm labourer and keen gardener throughout his life. I worked on farms until I was eighteen when I left to join the RAF, at home we kept two pigs and half a dozen geese in the orchard. Sandra is from Speyside and has done B&B for the past few years.
This year I extended my growing space by removing a rockery and re-vitalising the soil. My plan now we’re mortgage-free is to find a smallholding/croft in the local area and to expand into livestock (pigs and poultry) and Sandra wants to have self-catering pods on-site. We're not too profit-centred it's more living off the produce and selling any surplus rather than a commercial operation.
Looking forward to learning from this group and sharing our experiences.
Tez
