Summary

My guest today this week is Julius Roberts.

Julius is a first generation millennial farmer and rising star of the food scene.

In 2016 he gave up working at the acclaimed restaurant Noble Rot in London - and Swapped the rat race for an idyllic life of pigs, goats and chickens instead.

His first foray into farming was a small-holding in rural Suffolk and then last year he moved with his family to a farm in Dorset.

His charm and humble approach to life on the farm have seen him amass an army of followers online as he shares the trials and tribulations of farm life alongside his menagerie of animals. Julius describes himself as a cook, farmer and gardener on a journey to self-sufficiency

In 2020 the times named him as one of the best Farmer - Foodies to follow on instagram. He says his aim is simple – to educate his audience on topics including animal welfare and seasonal cooking. Julius is a wonderful guest who I guarantee is going to make you want to move to the countryside immediately and start foraging for all your meals. He has a beautiful way of talking about food that makes you feel like the food is right in front of you and I really hope you enjoy!
