We’re pleased to share this video of Tracy Russell and David Newman, winners of the 2024 Soil Farmer of the Year Award.
Bucksum, based in Buckinghamshire, produces over 40 varieties of salads, herbs, fruits and vegetables in their market garden. As 2024 winners of the Soil Farmer of the Year competition, David and Tracy operate with huge attention to detail, focusing on rotation and maximising soil health and functionality to provide nutritious, high-quality produce whilst enhancing the biodiversity of their landscape.
The business operates from 16 acres of rented land, with approximately 4 acres cropped each year. Through integrating herbal leys, homemade soil improvers and a four-year rotation David and Tracy have created a thriving food business with resilient soil at its heart, able to supply their farm shop and beyond.
