James Richardson
James studied agriculture at Bishop Burton College from 2008 to 2010, before returning home to work on his family’s beef and sheep hill farm in Derbyshire.
He joined Dyson Farming as a herdsperson in 2019, working in Gloucestershire, before joining us as Farm Manager in 2021.
James oversees the running of the commercial farm, as well as working with our students and academics to ensure they are learning from the facilities on campus. His passion lies in regenerative farming and achieving zero net carbon, while retaining very high standards of day-to-day operations and animal welfare.
