This week I talk with farmer Richard Hilson. He runs a mixed farming model with his wife and I am keen to hear how things have been going on the ground over the past couple of years and what the future looks like. Lets check in with him here.
His mixed farming model of deer, sheep and beef has some valuable advantages.
It is very rare that every aspect of farming is winning at the same time, and by farming different species you can mitigate or certainly manage market variables, as we have seen over the past couple of years – and venison has been a market doing it tough.
However, the future will be bright for venison as foodservice markets continue to be developed and the world opens back up.
Listen to the podcast to get the full story and full perspectives.

Vlad P invades Ukraine, and Yemenis and Turks wake up to higher bread prices. Why do I get the feeling that food is not only essential, more valuable each day as the world population increases. And fights everwhere, like lemmings jumping to their deaths, for some some inexplicable reason.
Venison or beef, I'll take pork wirh some fat.
