Erin's story: how knowledge builds a resilient future for the countryside

In this episode, Violet meets Erin, a young farmer from Wales who works with her grandfather to ensure a stable career for herself in agriculture and a future for profitable, family farms.
Erin decided to take part in our Farm Resilience Programme, so that she could understand more about the farm as a business and pair her new knowledge with what she continues to learn from her grandfather.
Did you know the average age of a farmer in the UK is 58? With an aging workforce, it is vital that young farmers are provided with the tools to run resilient businesses that support their families and the nation.
The workshops in our programme - such as benchmarking, working with the environment and succession planning - were created to take a whole-farm and whole-family approach in helping small farm business build a sustainable future - not just in their produce but in their profits too.
This advice would normally cost farmers thousands, but thanks to our supporters, we are able to offer it for free through trusted, local partners! Sign up and learn more about your farm business by visiting the link in our bio or www.royalcountrysidefund.org.uk/farmresilience
