Sophie Gregory, also known as @farmer_in_training, is a first generation farmer with a 400 strong organic dairy herd. What might comes as a surprise is that she actually started out as an accountant!
Her husband's passion to have a dairy farm coupled with having her first child created a route into farming that she didn't expect. Learning from the calves upwards, Sophie threw herself into the farm and learnt all she could, and now she's taken it to another level. She sits on boards (including the NFU Dairy Board) to support the industry, is passionate about education at all levels with Discover Farming and is having her own classroom built on the farm, and invests time and energy in her own continuing professional development. She's also a Nuffield Scholar, an accolade she was awarded because of her passion, dedication, and the charity's belief in her.
Sophie's passion for farming and business shines through, and it was a true joy to get under the skin of agriculture in this way. We also chatted about the part that social media plays in it all. You might be surprised! I found it fascinating- I really hope you do too!
