29.08.2022 Soldiering On: from fighting to farming

Meet David Bradley, an ex-army major, who returned to his family farm after being medically discharged, to fight for its survival. Anna Louise Claydon explores his journey of recovery and self-discovery at Selson Farm & Fallowfields, just outside of Sandwich in Kent. David was forced to give up life in the military and become a farmer at a time when the family fruit farm was struggling to make money and desperately needed to diversify to survive. Through the orchards you’ll meet Lex Cook, fuelled by his passion for the British countryside - David’s business partner - who found Selson Farm through posting an advert in the papers. Together they launched not only a life-long friendship, but also a unique campsite that would save the farm's future...
