Meet Grace, one of our Growers and Our Farm’s resident ‘Chicken Lady’ 💚🐓
Originally from Macclesfield, Grace studied Physical Geography before working in hospitality, at a local farm shop and as a seasonal National Trust Ranger in the South Lakes. Each role helped deepen her interest in conservation, soil health and creating a more sustainable food chain, eventually leading her to Our Farm just over a year ago.
Today, Grace looks after propagation and microgreen sowing, leads farm tours and cares for our chickens and farm cats, Tickity and Boo. Her work changes with the seasons, but every day begins with the morning harvest and making sure our four-legged and feathered residents are happy and healthy.
Her favourite crops to grow are our microgreens, seeing them flourish, before being harvested for use across our restaurants menus.
For Grace, the best part of Our Farm is being surrounded by a small team of kind, passionate and hardworking people: “Most of the time, it feels more like a family than work.”
A few final facts: Grace played tennis at a high level for 16 years, is also known as the cats’ mother, and her favourite Our Farm product is our rose geranium candle.
Thank you Grace!
