Robert Jeffery and David Morris are both
lifetime, third-generation farmers in
Derbyshire who diversified into a
consultancy, designed to provide
a helping hand to those who wish to move to
the country and own some land.
Having formed the company
NewLandOwner
Management Services Ltd. in April 2000, they
now operate throughout the UK, with
occasional work abroad.
Robert Jeffery
Robert farms Aston House farm, where his family have
been since 1920. Having been an intensive
milk and cereals farm, the successful conversion
to Organic beef and cereals was made in 1998/9
and Robert has found organic farming to be
remarkably satisfying and very rewarding. He
produces Prime Longhorn Organic Beef, much of which is
sold from the farm. He treats his animals with respect
and they respond with contented good health.
His wheat and beans, which thrive on the manure from the
beef herd, are grown specifically to produce seed for
other organic farmers to grow. Everything produced on
the farm is absolutely top of the range, commanding the
best possible prices. Robert runs his farm on a part
time basis, utilising the services of some excellent
contractor friends to get the work done when he is busy
with NewLandOwner.
David Morris
David, another ex dairy farmer, now devotes his time to
NewLandOwner, whilst utilising contractors to farm his
land. David is a mine of information on everything to do
with the countryside, be it crops, livestock or
countryside management.
More recently he has become an expert in matters
relating to rural planning and the acquisition of
planning consent for farm buildings and dwellings. David
always has a solution, whatever the problem!
