Lake District Farmers, 'This is Why' campaign.
-
Millbeck Farm dates back to 1621 and was subsequently purchased by Beatrix Potter in 1936 for the conservation of Herdwick Sheep.
The Herdwicks were tended by Miss Potter's shepherd, Joseph Gregg, and his son Vic, for almost 50 years. Vic would ultimately become Eric's mentor, taking him under his wing in 1980 to teach him the traditional Herdwick farming methods. that have been so successful for almost a thousand years.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this video, as a Lake District resident and an aspiring Fell sheep farmer it's videos like these that keep me inspired. Nice work team.

Hello Cousin Eric! It's many years since we last met so you probably won't remember me. I'm Mary, your Aunty Peggy's eldest daughter, who was your dear Dad's eldest sister. I think it was when your parents were living in Grizedale that we last met, or on one of the two occasions we stayed with Sheila at Blea Tarn. I've been watching your progress over the last few years and been very impressed with your determination to promote the Herdwick every which way you can. It would be so lovely to come up to the Lakes at least one more time before I die, so I'm praying this awful pandemic will have petered out before then. Would you know which farm our Grandfather Edwin leased from Beatrix Potter? I'm guessing it was probably Lawson Park, prior to your Dad taking over when Granddad died prematurely. It would be lovely to hear from you if you know. Take care.
