The Wandering Herd - about us
Family Farming for Nature and the Environment
Hi there. Let us introduce ourselves.
We are Ed, Carolyn, Jack and Lottie.
Ed is a fourth generation farmer from Fulbourn, Cambridge.
He has a passion for nature and farming, while also enjoying a proper beer and rugby.
Carolyn is a teacher and wondermum! She is in charge of holding the ship together, and is more of a G'n'T and Downton Abbey girl.
Jack is 5 and worryingly obsessed with farming. Not sure what a piece of farming equipment is? Ask Him! Found either digging holes or propped up somewhere reading the Farmers Weekly like an 80 year old man.
Lottie is the baby of the family, but the farming gene has hit hard. You'll often hear hear calling for tractors and cows!
And together with some of our closest friends, family and supporters, we are 'The Wandering Herd'.
Conservation & Sustainable graziers based in Cambridge (UK) using native breed livestock to create truly beautiful and biodiverse habitats in our local landscape. Follow us on our journey of regenerative agriculture, fighting for local sustainable food systems, as well as farming and family fun.

We use the right animals to meet the needs of the landowner, be that for improving and maintaining species rich grassland, or even grazing off cover crops as part of livestock integrated arable production.
If you need a site grazed or livestock to help your system then get in touch. We can offer complete consultation and livestock services to meet your aims.

Our native breed conservation and sustainably grazed meat is the best around. Our animals are looked after and loved to the highest welfare standards. They graze on the best quality fodder that nature has to offer, eating a vast array of grasses and wildflowers. This rich diet has a tremendous effect on meat quality, resulting in nutrient dense & diverse, high omega-3, well marbled, and unrivaled tasting meat.
We sell direct to you in the form of meat boxes, butchered locally in Cambridge. We also supply to some of Cambridge's finest restaurants, pubs, craft butchers and foodie venues.
Education

Education
Education is at our core. We have a broken food system. We have a broken agriculture sector. Misinformation and 'green-washing' is rife. It is extremely hard, if not impossible, to shop and provide for our families in a truly sustainable and nature friendly way.

Education is at our core. We have a broken food system. We have a broken agriculture sector. Misinformation and 'green-washing' is rife. It is extremely hard, if not impossible, to shop and provide for our families in a truly sustainable and nature friendly way.
We believe that we can be part of a solution to educate both farmers and consumers out of this rut, and promote better and more informed decisions when it comes to our food and food system.
As part of our education offering we conduct several farm/grazing walks and talks throughout the year to the public, as well as offering school, college and university students the opportunity to gets hands on experience on the farm and with the animals.
