Farmers & Producers Forum October Supper

Please join us on 26th October for our inaugural Farmers & Producers Forum supper. 

The forum is an informal group of farmers and producers based in North Herefordshire constituency who get together a few times a year to meet likeminded people and learn about policy-making that affects the agricultural sector. Everyone is very welcome to attend, whether or not you are a member.

We are delighted that Joe Evans,  Deputy President of the CLA, will be the guest speaker. His speech will be on "A View from Rural Britain: Challenges, Opportunities and Choices".

Joe grew up on his family farm in Herefordshire and spent much of the first decade of his career working for HSBC Group in Asia. In 2012 he and his wife Keeley returned 'home' where he took over the day to day running of Whitbourne estate from his father. The estate has three farming tenants, a few residential properties, high-quality woodland, a care farm charity and an events venue that he opened just before the pandemic struck. Working together with one of his farming tenants, Joe runs the home farm as an extensive organic grazing enterprise with significant focus on environmental stewardship schemes. He has been involved with the CLA as chair of the Herefordshire branch and chair of the Environment Committee.

Tickets include a welcome drink and supper of pork & apple casserole. We are grateful to Newton Court Cider for providing the venue.
