All three are involved in the farm shop and farming. Stuart was born in Leamington Spa and was brought up at Fairthwaite Park where his father worked on the Ogden family’s farm at Cowan Bridge between the Lakes and the Dales. His father was responsible for a fabulous Charolais herd and a flock of 1000 Swaledale ewes. He moved to Yorkshire when taken on by David Fattorini and Stuart took over from him.
