23 Second show set to be even bigger & better!
16 Turning a hobby into a
successful business
Ian Wilkinson met the enthusiastic &
hardworking Holmes family who own
and manage Marsh Top Farm and Farm
Shop at Oxenhope, near Halifax.
The second YAMS, Wednesday 4th February 2015, is all set to be
even more successful than the first with 130 stands and an even
wider and more diverse range of equipment and services.
38 Coddy’s Farm:
diversification at its best
Andrew and Lisa Cowill, of Coddy’s
Farm at Cumberworth, are making their
mark with diversification at its best.
Ian Wilkinson was impressed!
48 On the map at Bentham
While a large number of livestock markets
in the UK have disappeared in the past
two decades, with several not resurfacing
after foot and mouth in 2001, there
have also been many success: Bentham
is one of them, says Chris Berry.
66 There are butchers, and
craftsmen butchers
“If we don’t make it here, we don’t sell it,”
says craftsman butcher Peter Cusworth,
whose Wickersley shop continues to pull
in customers who really care about quality,
and trust him and his team to provide it.

54 Teamwork and
careful planning are
Making you
think about how
you dairy farm
the key to success
Think robotic milking particularly in the north - and
you’d be hard pressed to
come up with any other
name than Tim Gibson,
the go-to man for sales,
installation and maintenance.
