James Gilboy has quite a family story, from his childhood in the Peak District, where he always loved farming and animals, through the sale of his family's successful bakery business to the recent search for the perfect home, where they could restore an historic estate. The place they found, dating back to 1550, sits in a secluded valley threaded with barns, private lakes and ancient woodland on the periphery of the South Downs and, most importantly, enabled them to introduce regenerative farming.

Mark Simpson, who's son has a part time job at the Bramshott farm, asked James to tell him about his current and future plans with their deer, cows, lambs, pigs and chickens, as well as improvements to the eco system, employing local talent and launching hospitality and simulated shoots at Downlands.
