Rachel Lumley made a lasting impact on national farming when she founded Love Lamb Week.
THE legacy of a passionate sheep farmer who founded a national event in her home district will live on in 2021 and beyond.
The Tyne Valley was rocked by the sudden death of former Blanchland farmer Rachel Lumley, at the age of just 37, in August.
Love Lamb Week, the event she had created to great effect back in 2015, went ahead in September, with praise and tributes for Rachel from prominent figures in the industry.
In creating the week-long campaign, Rachel wanted to give lamb the attention it deserved, to focus on emphasising the nutritional benefits of lamb and its unique role in sustainable meat production.
