A SCOTTISH farming duo is celebrating 10 years of combining sustainable farming and social media to inspire future generations of eco-friendly land users.
James Reid and Rosa Bevan have been using their online influence to highlight the possibilities of land use to young people in Scotland. They do so promoting permaculture ecosystems at Tap O’ Noth farm in Aberdeenshire.
The duo has more than 19,000 YouTube subscribers – where they share videos documenting farm life with the aim of inspiring budding farmers to make the most of Scottish land.
The eight-acre site sits at the foot of Tap O’ Noth hill near the village of Rhynie. The farm produces ecologically grown fruit and vegetables and is also home to chickens, geese and a small herd of dairy goats.
The couple generate most of their living from operating a Community Supported Agriculture vegetable box business, as well as focusing on agritourism in the form of farm tours and renting their shepherd’s hut. They also offer online permaculture consultancy and residential courses. Reid said: “We want to inspire people about the life they can lead if they look at land a little bit differently.
“To have been able to work towards that for the past 10 years has been extremely rewarding.”
