Meirionnydd

Jessica Williams, 38-years-old from Bryncrug, Meirionnydd. Farming Native Breeds of Pedigree Welsh Black cattle, Pedigree Lleyn sheep and a flock of 500 Hardy Welsh Mountain ewes on the upland area.

Also a keen beekeeper with an on-farm apiary with the help of my nine-year-old twins. Graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in Environmental Health at Cardiff and went on to a further Postgraduate Certificate in Leading Change through Aberystwyth University.

In 2021 my husband and I started a business selling our Native Breed meat direct to the final consumer through meat boxes sold from the farm using our local abattoir, reducing food miles and allowing local people to consume meat that has been born and bred on our farm in their local area.
