Tim Young

I’m a fourth-generation farmer in South West Norfolk’s Breckland SSSI, growing wheat, sugar beet, onions, and wine grapes. Alongside my wife and young twins, I embrace environmental stewardship and diversification, including a vineyard planted in 2023 to create new opportunities for our family farm.

  • I believe farming and nature can thrive together. Joining BLFR is a way to protect the Brecks' unique character, support wildlife and make my business sustainable for the future.

  • BLFR has opened my eyes to the hugely significant opportunity  that, as land occupiers, we have at our fingers tips.  To be part of a project which can help secure the future of over 2000 priority species whilst producing food for the nation is how I'd like to see the Brecks.

  • Farming can be stressful, but taking five minutes in a place that nurtures rare species is refreshing. Knowing the land you care for supports wildlife has a way of clearing your head and easing the pressures of food production.
