Jack Cockburn studied Organic Agriculture as a postgraduate at the University of Wales and then took on the running of a traditional grassland farm in Ceredigion, where he established a rare breed flock of Llanwenog sheep, a herd of Hereford beef cattle and an orchard. Later diversification includes the restoration of hay meadows, woodland planting and the creation of holiday accommodation. Jack has run courses for people new to smallholding, written magazine articles, and featured in the BBC One TV series Secret Life of Farm Animals.
