In this episode of CMC Talks, we’re joined by Bev Brown, Farmwise Events Manager, alongside Mark Davis, Director at Rivermead Dairy and Kivells.

Bev shares her journey from growing up on a hill farm on Dartmoor to returning home after a career in Kent. Her connection to the countryside now fuels her work with Farmwise, she discusses the joy of seeing children experience livestock up close for the first time and how hands-on learning builds real connections to farming and food.

His parents started out as first-generation farmers on a small County Council tenancy, building Rivermead Dairy into a thriving, respected business, Mark talks about his own path into auctioneering and his continued commitment to supporting farmers and rural communities.

Together, they remind us of the value of education, and passing on a love for the land to future generations.
