At Lower Keigwin farm in the far west of Cornwall, Ursula Guy and Jon Brunyee are two young farmers returning old techniques - and a beef suckler herd - to the land. Initially their priority was to create rural workspaces, but the focus is now shifting to rearing pasture-fed, mob-grazed beef and growing organic, no-dig vegetables alongside agroforestry. They're also making space for regenerative farming and even art.

When the farm came up for sale for the first time in three generations, the couple knew they wanted it to be a space for other businesses to use too, rather than leasing the outhouses as holiday lets. Rachel Lovell visits them to hear how they are breathing life back into their old milking shed and how the farm has become home not only to traditional farming methods, but also to traditional Cornish cidermakers, hedgers and sculptors.
