Description

Today I welcome Tim May onto the R2Kast! πŸŽ™οΈ A fourth-generation farmer from Hampshire, Tim has transformed Kingsclere Estate into something far beyond a traditional farm. 🌾


We hear how his Nuffield Scholarship inspired him to shift from 100 percent arable into a mixed regenerative system, bringing livestock back and building a network of partners rather than employees. Tim shares his vision of farming as a platform for multiple businessesβ€”from roaming dairies and hens to rental units and food ventures. πŸ„πŸ“


Our conversation dives into PitchUp, his innovative way of inviting entrepreneurs onto the farm to co-create circular economies. Tim speaks with honesty about change, family legacy, and the challenge of redefining what a farm can be. 🌍


It is a story of reinvention, resilience, and bold thinking about the future of food and land use. 🌱✨


Enjoy! 😊
