| 7/3/26 | ![]() R2Kast 430 – Lauren Gourlay on food, content creation and championing British produce | Today I had Lauren on the R2Kast 🎙️ A food content creator, recipe developer and social media personality who has built a huge audience around cooking, local produce and great ingredients. 🌾We spoke about growing up in Scotland, working in hospitality and then spending more than a decade with Scottish Water before eventually taking the leap into content creation full time. It was a really honest discussion about balancing a career, family life and building something from scratch online while figuring out what actually mattered to her. 🍎 A big part of the conversation focused on food. Why quality ingredients matter, supporting local producers, understanding where food comes from and the role social media can play in connecting consumers with farming. Lauren shared how her content has evolved from restaurant recommendations into something much more focused on provenance, local sourcing and telling the stories behind the food on people’s plates. 🌍We also chatted about the realities of working in social media, the pressure of creating content, dealing with criticism online and the importance of staying authentic. It was a really interesting look at how someone outside agriculture can become such a strong advocate for British food and farming simply through a genuine passion for good food.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast.

| 7/1/26 | ![]() Tales of a Nuffield Scholar with Polly Hilton and Lucy George | Today on series two of Tales of a Nuffield Scholar supported by NFU Mutual we continue looking ahead to the 2026 Nuffield Farming Scholarships Conference in Leeds 🎙️ Across this series we’re hearing from scholars who will feature within the conference presentation groups, giving a flavour of the conversations, ideas and experiences set to shape the event 🌍This episode focuses on the presentation group “Innovation in Modern Horticulture” with Polly Hilton and Lucy George 🌱While the Leeds presentation group will also include Ali Warren-Walker, a change in presentation groups meant Ali had already featured in the opening episode of this series as part of “New Pathways for Land, Rivers, Carbon and Nature”, so this conversation focused on Polly and Lucy.We spoke about two very different journeys within horticulture, from premium cider production and traditional orchards through to tea growing in Wales. What linked both conversations was a willingness to challenge convention, create value from specialist crops and build businesses around products that many people would not immediately associate with British agriculture 🚜Polly shared how Fine Love Cider works with traditional orchards in the Wye Valley, helping to protect and restore these valuable landscapes while producing premium ciders. Through her travels she explored cider cultures across Europe, looking at everything from education and government support to the role local producers play in maintaining regional identity and rural economies 🌳Lucy spoke about pioneering commercial tea production in Wales after a background in soft fruit growing. Her Nuffield journey has explored how innovation from across horticulture can be adapted into the tea sector, while also questioning how we define value within food production. From consumer understanding and sustainability through to community engagement and wellbeing, her work highlighted the wider role that horticulture can play beyond simply producing a crop 🍃One of the strongest themes running throughout the episode was the importance of education and connection. Whether it was helping consumers understand where their tea comes from or encouraging support for locally grown apples and cider, both scholars highlighted the value of reconnecting people with the origins of what they eat and drink 🌾Without giving away everything that will be shared on stage in Leeds, this episode offered another fascinating glimpse into the future of horticulture, rural enterprise and innovative crop production.Thank you to NFU Mutual for their support of this project.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast.

| 6/29/26 | ![]() Twocan Podcast - Ian Brown and Muhammad Umar | Do you feel you have expertise and experience to pass on? Or perhaps you’re looking for someone who can help you learn, grow and navigate the challenges ahead? 🌱Today on the TwoCan Mentor podcast I was joined by Ian Brown and Muhammad Umar 🎙️Ian is a third generation farmer, entrepreneur and business adviser who has spent his career building businesses across food, renewable energy and innovation. Muhammad grew up on a small livestock farm in Pakistan before studying overseas, completing a PhD focused on food systems resilience and food security in the UK. We spoke about how they were matched through the mentoring programme despite coming from very different backgrounds. What followed was a relationship built around sharing experiences, exploring opportunities and helping each other navigate key stages of their careers. 🌍 For Muhammad, the timing could not have been better. He was finishing his PhD, applying for jobs and trying to make the transition from academia into industry. Ian provided support, perspective and connections, helping him build confidence through what can be a challenging and uncertain period. At the same time, both highlighted how mentoring is never a one way process, with each learning from the other’s experiences and outlook. 💭 A big theme throughout the conversation was resilience. From business ventures and job applications to academic challenges and career setbacks, both shared the importance of learning from failure, staying curious and continuing to move forward. 🌱 We finished by discussing the value of networks, relationships and simply having someone outside your immediate circle to challenge your thinking and support your development. Their message was clear: there is very little downside to mentoring and a huge amount to gain.Enjoy! ☺️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 6/26/26 | ![]() Agroecology around Arran - Arable Episode | In this episode, we explore arable farming on Arran, tracing the journey of locally grown grain from field to fork and glass.We begin at Bellevue Farm, where farmer Donald Currie grows malting barley on Arran’s fertile soils. From there, we follow the grain north to Lochranza Distillery, where Brand Ambassador Fred Baumgärtner explains how locally grown barley is transformed into the island’s world-renowned whisky. We finish our journey at Blackwater Bakehouse, where baker George Grassie shares his passion for artisan breadmaking, heritage grains, sustainability, health and nutrient-dense food.The phrase “follow the grain” is often used to describe the process of working with the natural direction of a material, or within the constraints of your environment, rather than forcing a direction that leads to resistance and damage.We learn how this ethos is reflected in the agroecological approach embraced across Arran. From the field to the distillery and bakery, we hear how farmers, bakers and distillers work with the opportunities and constraints of the island’s climate, soils and landscapes, allowing the local environment to shape their practices rather than trying to overcome it.Episode guestsDonald CurrieDonald Currie is an arable and beef farmer who produces barley for malting at Bellevue Farm and other sites around the island.Fred BaumgärtnerFred Baumgärtner is the Brand Home Ambassador for the Isle of Arran Distillers, the company responsible for producing award-winning whisky at both Lagg Distillery and Lochranza Distillery.Born and bred on Arran, Fred now leads whisky tasting tours and experiences at the distillery for hundreds of visitors each year, and travels the world showcasing the island’s products.George GrassieGeorge Grassie is an artisan baker who has been running Blackwater Bakehouse for the past five years. Born and raised on Arran, George spent several years living on the mainland and abroad before returning to the island with his young family. Today, the Bakehouse produces fresh artisan bread using high-quality Scottish-grown organic flour and heritage grains, and has recently expanded into a new site in Brodick. Hosted on Acast.

| 6/22/26 | ![]() Field to Front Door – Episode 9 on peony season, cereals, direct selling and Britain’s Fittest Farmer | Today we’re back with Field to Front Door 🎙️David, Martin and Wallace catching up after a busy few weeks of events, farm work and plenty of challenges along the way. A big focus of this episode was peony season and the reality of trying to get thousands of stems picked, packed and delivered at exactly the right stage. We got into subscription boxes, customer expectations, delivery headaches and the challenge of managing fresh produce when timing is everything.We also spoke about Cereals, what stood out from the event, regenerative farming, agronomists showing interest in lower input systems and some of the conversations happening around soil health and biological approaches to crop production.There was plenty of discussion around direct selling too, from heritage apples and specialist grains through to why farmers often receive such a small share of the final value of what they produce. The conversation kept coming back to understanding your market, building relationships with customers and finding ways to keep more value on farm.Alongside all of that we chatted about Britain’s Fittest Farmer, tractor runs, Highland Show, Groundswell and why sometimes the biggest opportunities come from simply putting yourself out there and trying something different.We’re going to keep this going fortnightly for now and see where it takes us. If you’ve got ideas on what we should cover or who we should bring in, send them our way.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 6/19/26 | ![]() R2Kast 429 – Kate Pocock on recruitment, marketing and building careers in agriculture | Today I had Kate on the R2Kast 🎙️ Kate is Marketing Director at Cultura Connect and works at the heart of agricultural recruitment, helping connect businesses with the people they need while championing careers across the sector. 🌾We spoke about growing up on a dairy farm, studying Agricultural Economics at Reading and how her career took her through PR, events, retail and marketing before eventually leading into recruitment. It was a really interesting conversation about how varied agricultural careers can be and how often the path you end up on isn’t the one you originally planned. 🍎 A big part of the discussion focused on recruitment and the importance of understanding people rather than simply matching CVs to job descriptions. We talked about transferable skills, employer reputation, attracting talent into agriculture and why the industry needs to stay open to people coming in from different backgrounds and sectors. 🌍We also chatted about running a farm alongside a business, rearing Wagyu cattle, setting up a farm shop and butchery, building a company with her husband Hugh and how marketing continues to evolve as new platforms and technologies emerge.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Tales of a Nuffield Scholar with Molly Gupta, Peter Rowe and Tom McVeigh | Today on series two of Tales of a Nuffield Scholar supported by NFU Mutual we continue looking ahead to the 2026 Nuffield Farming Scholarships Conference in Leeds 🎙️ Across this series we’re hearing from scholars who will feature within the conference presentation groups, giving a flavour of the conversations, ideas and experiences set to shape the event 🌍This episode focuses on the presentation group “Growing New Possibilities: Seaweed to Sustainable Timber” with Molly Gupta, Peter Rowe and Tom McVeigh 🌱We spoke about three very different journeys into land use and natural resource management, from seaweed farming and food systems through to commercial forestry and agroforestry. What was fascinating was how all three scholars arrived at similar questions around sustainability, resilience and how we make better use of the resources around us 🚜Molly shared her journey from an urban upbringing in West London into the world of food systems and seaweed farming, exploring how seaweed could play a bigger role in food, feed and environmental solutions. Peter spoke about commercial forestry and the opportunities that exist to diversify timber production in the UK, while Tom discussed his search for profitable future crops, focusing on the potential for hazelnuts and tree crops within British farming systems 🌍Across the conversation there were some brilliant discussions around innovation, resource efficiency and learning from other countries. Whether it was seaweed farming in Tanzania and Madagascar, forestry systems in South America and Europe, or nut production across North America and the continent, all three highlighted the value of stepping outside the UK to see how others are tackling similar challenges 🌾One of the strongest themes running through the episode was curiosity. Each scholar started with a question, but all found their topics evolving as they travelled, met people and uncovered opportunities they had never originally planned to explore. It was a great reminder that some of the best discoveries happen when you leave room for the unexpected Without giving away everything that will be shared on stage in Leeds, this episode offered another fascinating glimpse into the future opportunities emerging across farming, forestry and food systems.Thank you to NFU Mutual for their support of this project.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast.

| 6/15/26 | ![]() Twocan Mentor - Mentor and Mentee face to face: Nicky Gumery and Chris Bielby | Do you feel you have expertise and experience to pass on? Or perhaps you’re looking for someone who can help you learn, grow and navigate the challenges ahead? 🌱Today on the TwoCan Mentor podcast I was joined by Nicky Gumery and Chris Bielby 🎙️Nicky has spent her career working in leadership and people development, while Chris comes from a background in ecology and nature conservation. Through the TwoCan Mentor programme they were paired together despite having very different experiences, and quickly discovered just how valuable those differences could be. We spoke about what mentoring means in practice and why it is much more than simply passing knowledge from one person to another. Both shared how the relationship became a genuine two way conversation, with mentor and mentee learning just as much from each other along the way. 🌍 Chris joined hoping to gain insight into progressing his career and becoming more effective as a leader. What he found instead was a chance to reconnect with the values that first led him into ecology and to rethink what success really looks like. At the same time, Nicky found herself reflecting on her own career journey and realising she was already exactly where she wanted to be. 💭 A big theme throughout the episode was keeping an open mind. Neither expected the mentoring relationship to develop as it did, but both agreed that some of the biggest breakthroughs came from conversations they never planned to have. They also shared how their connection will continue long after the formal programme has ended. 🌱 We finished by discussing their advice for anyone considering becoming a mentor or mentee. Be open, be curious and allow the journey to take you somewhere unexpected.Enjoy! ☺️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||

| 6/5/26 | ![]() Agroecology around Arran - Meat and Livestock Episode | From the early days of crofting and subsistence farming to the present day, animal protein has provided an essential and highly valuable source of nutrients for Arran’s population. While sheep and beef production have always been central to Arran’s farming economy, venison is now also being embraced as a sustainable protein source that can help to combat the growing threat that the wild deer population poses to island ecosystems.In this first episode of our new series Agroecology Around Arran, we explore how the production of meat on Arran embraces the ethos of agroecology, how farmers are working together to reduce carbon emissions from livestock farming, and what we can learn from their example.GuestsAlistair CurrieAlistair talks to us about his livestock farm based in the Shiskine Valley. He maintains a herd of around around 30 native-breed beef cattle which are fed on pasture and home-grown silage.Colin CurrieColin Currie is an upland hill farmer who has been farming sheep and beef at Bridge Farm with his wife Laura since the 1970s. Bridge Farm is situated within a SSSI-designated site that is home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Colin uses his innate knowledge of the land to create a low-input livestock system that has allowed him to reduce reliance on external markets, maximise animal welfare, and work in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem.Zoë HughesZoë Hughes runs Wild Isle Venison with her partner Chris. Their work aims to honour the deer that are harvested alongside protecting the natural landscape on Arran and strengthening the local food chain. Zoë is passionate about sustainable, affordable meat that has a positive impact on the environment. Wild Isle Venison works to reconnect producers and consumers, processing venison in small batches and selling to local residents, chefs and businesses across the island.Alec PirieAlec Pirie is a Senior Consultant and Area Manager for SAC Consulting. Alec works with over 120 clients across Scotland and has a particular interest in carbon, climate and conservation. He has also recently completed a Master's degree in Wildlife, Conservation and Management. Alec started the Net Zero Arran group in 2019. This aim of this group of farmers is to quantify the island's agricultural carbon footprint and take collective action to improve it. Hosted on Acast.

It was a really interesting look at how different agricultural systems around the world compare and what that brings into teaching. 🍎 A big part of the conversation focused on education. What students are learning, how university farms are used for research and teaching, and why creating space to test ideas matters. We also spoke about international collaboration, particularly in China, and how bringing students and ideas together improves learning on both sides. 🌍We also touched on research, innovation and where agriculture is heading, especially around sustainability, food systems and resilience.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast.

| 5/12/26 | ![]() Field to Front Door – Episode 6 on regenerative farming, soil biology and getting out your comfort zone | Today we’re back with Field to Front Door 🎙️David, Martin and Wallace this time getting really stuck into regenerative farming, soil health and what changing systems on farm actually looks like in practice. A big focus of this episode was David starting to move parts of the farm towards lower input and regenerative approaches, with Martin explaining everything from soil biology and cover crops through to seed treatments, ploughing depth and why modern systems may have stripped so much life out of soils over time.We also got into the balance between wanting to farm differently and the reality that changing systems is scary when your business depends on it working. There was a really interesting discussion around biology, fertiliser dependency and whether farming can move back towards building healthier soils rather than constantly feeding crops directly.Alongside all of that there was still plenty of the usual mix of stories and tangents, from agroecology on Arran through to David somehow finding himself at leadership events, embassy receptions and talking about peonies with people from all over the world.We’re going to keep this going fortnightly for now and see where it takes us. If you’ve got ideas on what we should cover or who we should bring in, send them our way.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||

| 5/8/26 | ![]() R2Kast 423 – Olivia Skeoch on content, career changes and coming into agriculture | Today I had Liv on the R2Kast 🎙️ She works in commercial content across the agricultural media space, creating campaigns, events and storytelling that connect farming with a wider audience. 🌾We spoke about how she found her way into agriculture from outside the sector, starting with an English degree and teaching before moving into marketing and eventually into agricultural media. It was a really honest chat about trying different things, figuring out what works and what doesn’t, and how those decisions shape where you end up. 🍎A big part of the conversation focused on content and communication. How stories are told in agriculture, the importance of asking questions, and why people coming in without a farming background can bring a different and valuable perspective to the industry. 🌍We also chatted about confidence, networking and building a career without a set plan, and how sometimes just following what you enjoy can take you further than you expect.Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast.
