💭My Farm Dreams

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 love these photos taken by during a shoot on my farm back in April.

Ryan is such a talented photographer, and this shot is the perfect example of why it’s worth having someone there to capture the moments you don’t plan — the ones that feel natural and real.

At the time, it was still lambing season, and in the middle of the shoot I was checking on the ewes and lambs. Ryan caught the moments beautifully.

I came away with so many amazing photos from that day, and I’ll definitely be inviting him back soon for some new projects I have planned.

If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel relaxed and captures the unexpected in such an authentic way, I can’t recommend Ryan enough. Go check out his work — you won’t be disappointed.

A huge shout-out to the ever-talented for doing a cracking job shearing my ewes a few weeks back. It’s safe to say there were a few woolly bellies lurking under all that fleece — and I’m fairly certain Anna wasn’t overly impressed with my four Ryelands who are still hanging around in the flock (but not for much longer… they’ve been warned).

Shearing isn’t just about making the girls look smart for summer — it’s essential for their health and comfort. Carrying around all that extra wool in warm weather can lead to overheating, and if left too long, fleece can become a haven for pests and cause skin issues. A good shear keeps them cool, clean, and much happier… even if they don’t exactly queue up for the clippers!

Next on the list is dagging before tupping — a glamorous job I’ll be attempting myself (and not one I’m especially looking forward to). Then, same time, same place next year, we’ll be back at it again, giving the whole flock their annual trim as part of the rhythm of life on the farm.

Today I received the most unexpected and thoughtful surprise – a beautiful food parcel from the amazing team at . 🧺✨ It truly means so much, not just for the gift itself, but for the kindness, support, and appreciation behind it. This gesture is a reminder of how strong and genuine the connections in the agricultural community can be.

Working together on and beyond has been a real privilege – sharing our passion for farming, celebrating the hard work that goes into putting food on the table, and promoting the values that keep British agriculture thriving. 🚜🌱 I’m incredibly grateful for our continued partnership and the shared mission to support and champion the farming industry.

From the bottom of my heart – thank you, Pasturetec, for your generosity and for standing alongside us in celebrating the people and stories behind the land. Here’s to many more years of working together to promote the very best of agriculture. ❤️

It’s hard to believe a week has already passed.

This time last week, I faced one of the most difficult decisions — saying goodbye to my beautiful Highland girl after she suffered liver failure. Losing her has left a huge hole in my heart.

These photos, taken back in April by the incredibly talented , now hold even more meaning. They were shot for my upcoming website rebrand and stock imagery, and they perfectly capture her gentle soul and loving nature. Even as I lay down beside her, she remained calm, present, and — true to form — right at the centre of attention.

She wasn’t just a Highland cow. She was a companion, a character, and an irreplaceable part of the farm. Her fluffy coat, kind eyes, and quiet strength brought joy to everyone who met her. I think you’ll agree she stole the show — outshining even the male model, who happened to be kitted out in the Typhoon Jacket and from .

Though she’s no longer with us, her spirit will continue to live on — not only in our memories but as a proud face of the new website and everything Tessleymoor stands for. She’ll always be part of the story.

Rest easy, my beautiful coo.

Thrilled to see two of my recent photos featured in the brand new product catalogue! 📖✨

It’s an honour to be working with such an innovative company and a genuinely great team of people who are passionate about what they do.

The shots come from a fantastic photo shoot back in April with the incredibly talented , and I’ve still got so many more to share with you all. 📸

One of my favourites is the image of me in the Typhoon jacket, feeding the Highland cattle and hoggs. — even Skye managed to sneak into the frame. 🐾🐂

Great to be featured alongside .kernow.shepherdess on the opposite page. Always good to see the farming community coming together and being represented with real authenticity.

Huge thanks again to everyone involved. I’m proud and grateful to be part of this collaboration. 🙌

Just look at that cheeky smile!

My gimmer lambs are thriving, and it’s clear they’re loving the mineral buckets.

Their health and condition speak for themselves – they’re looking fantastic and full of life! It’s always a pleasure working with Crystalyx to ensure my flock gets the best nutrition possible.

“Magical mornings like these make feeding the Highland cattle feel extra special. Waking up to a mist-covered valley, with the sunlight gently breaking through, is nothing short of breathtaking.

Nature truly has a way of humbling you with its beauty. The Highland’s don’t seem to mind the fog — they’re just here for breakfast!

From a beautiful deep rich orange sunset skyline last night to a very low cloud, foggy, crisp outlook from the farm over the moors this morning.

Nature and the atmosphere is changeable in a breath. The peace and tranquility of the early morning with sounds of nature and early morning farmers working is enjoyable.

Let’s enjoy what we have around and be grateful for what we have.

Enjoy your day and always find a positive from a negative.
