In our eyes, Tim & Jo Budden are organic farming legends. They’ve been farming at Higher Hacknell Farm for 30 years and were part of a small group of far-sighted individuals who served as a pivotal catalyst in the transition towards a more sustaining, chemical-free way of farming in the 1980s. At a time when animal welfare standards had been thrown off the farmyard and conservation methods involved ripping out hedges and everything else that was beneficial to the local wildlife, Tim and Jo chose to paddle against the destructive flow and work with nature, not against it.
