Tessleymoor Farm, Tessleymoor Farm, Chop Gate (2026)

Welcome to Tessleymoor Farm in the Yorkshire Dales. I’m sharing my experiences as a first-time farmer at the age of 50, bringing a little bit of my country life into your world. Supporting British farming is my passion. My pigs, goats and sheep experience the highest standards of grazing and foraging, which in turn produces exceptional meat. I sell this direct through meat boxes or via local butch

ers. My aim is to farm in a sustainable way, putting as much back into the land as I take out. In every part of my farming life, I have my sheepdog Skye sharing my adventures. We show the highs and lows of farming life - always up for the next challenge – follow us to see what we get up to on Tessleymoor Farm.

I’ve been researching chicken setups for quite a while now, and one thing I’ve learnt is that not all coops are created equal.

While at , I finally got chance to have a proper look around the range, and I have to say there were a lot of features that genuinely stood out to me.

From the clever access points for collecting eggs and cleaning out, to the easy access run doors, integrated feeders and drinkers, and the thought that’s clearly gone into keeping feed dry, clean and protected from unwanted visitors, it feels like a system that has been designed by people who actually understand the realities of keeping animals.

One thing I really liked was how easy everything is to access. Whether it’s reaching the nesting area, cleaning out the coop, topping up feed or water, it’s all been designed to make day to day management simpler and more practical.

As many of you know, I used to keep chickens years ago before I started farming, and bringing them back onto the farm has been something I’ve been seriously considering for a while now.

I’m a big believer in researching products properly before making decisions, and first impressions of the Omlet systems were incredibly positive.

The exciting part is that this may only be the beginning…

If chickens do arrive at Tessleymoor Farm, you already know what happens next. They’ll need names, personalities, and probably cause just as much chaos as Matilda, Tinkerbell and Nanny McPhee.

Watch this space. 🐔👀

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the dedication of the person inside that sheep costume… 😂🐑

There were thousands of fantastic moments at last weekend, but this photo definitely deserves a post of its own.

Firstly, it was absolutely roasting all weekend, so fair play to whoever spent the day dressed as a sheep!

Secondly, I think we need your help…

What caption would you give this photo?

And for bonus points, does anyone know what breed of sheep this is supposed to be? 🤔🐑

Drop your captions below 👇

I have a feeling there are going to be some absolute crackers! 😂

Tonight is the Britain’s Got Talent final and I really hope the whole country gets behind The Hawkstone Farmers Choir ❤️🚜

Last weekend at Farm Fest I was lucky enough to witness the moment they were announced as winners of their semi final. The atmosphere was unbelievable. The crowd erupted, Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper were jumping around celebrating, and there was a real sense of pride and support right across the event.

What makes this choir so special is that they are not professional singers. They are farmers, agricultural workers and people from rural communities who have come together to represent an industry that so often works quietly behind the scenes.

Over the last few years farming has faced huge challenges, but this choir has shown the strength, resilience and community spirit that exists throughout British agriculture. Their performances have brought farming to a national audience and reminded people of the importance of supporting the people who produce our food.

So tonight, whether you’re from a farming background or not, let’s get behind them and show our support.

Good luck to The Hawkstone Farmers Choir. We will all be cheering you on 🌾👏🇬🇧

One week ago today we were preparing to step into the Grand Arena at for what would become an unforgettable weekend.

It was an absolute privilege to present alongside and , celebrating British 🇬🇧 farming, the countryside and the people who make it all possible.

There were plenty of laughs, some incredible moments, and above all a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish. It was amazing to see so many people coming together to support British farming and enjoy everything the event had to offer.

Looking back, I’m incredibly proud to have been part of it and grateful to everyone who stopped for a chat, watched the demonstrations, or simply came along to support the event.

And while we’re celebrating rural talent, a huge good luck to in the Britain’s Got Talent final. They are doing an incredible job of flying the flag for British farming and rural communities on a national stage, and I know many of us will be cheering them on.

Here’s to Farm Fest 2027 already! 🚜🌾

One of the lovely brands I caught up with whilst at was , who kindly gifted me a pair of the York boots to wear whilst presenting at the festival.

I can honestly say they were absolutely superb. Handmade, incredible quality and unbelievably comfortable from the moment I put them on. No breaking in needed at all.

For three days straight I was on my feet from 5am right through until midnight presenting in the main arena, running between events, filming content and even dancing into the evening… and these boots never missed a beat.

Orca Bay are a British brand with the boots handmade in a small specialist factory in Indonesia that only produces Orca Bay footwear, and you can genuinely feel the quality the moment you put them on.

When you’re covering that much ground at an event like Farm Fest, comfort matters and the York boots delivered every single day.

Really appreciate the support from the guys at Orca Bay. Great people and fantastic quality footwear built for real life. 👏
