Today we welcome another addition of the 2024 Nuffield Scholarship cohort!…I start it by saying welcome back to R2Kast 142…it’s 152!Jock Gibson came from a farm but found himself away from the business before certain events caused him to jump back in. There’s more than just a farm however! Edinvale operates as the home farm utilising grass and forage with minimal extra inputs and MacBeth’s butchers works to try and minimise sending off stock elsewhere to be sold. It’s cuts out the middle process and means they can sell added value to their own customers.Jock saw a potential to explore the aforementioned grass and forage system and will travel around the world with Nuffield to do so! Enjoy!
