ROMSEY MP Caroline Nokes was shown first-hand how diverse modern farms are during a visit to a family-run business in her constituency.
The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) invited Ms Nokes to tour Fullerton Farms in Cottonworth, home to the Liddell family, to see the wide range of activities carried out and to discuss issues affecting rural life and business.
The Liddells, who are members of the CLA, have farmed at Fullerton for four generations.
Brothers Tom and Hugh farm 1,000 acres of organic arable land including 30 acres of vineyards, producing the award-winning Cottonworth Sparkling Wine, while Tom’s wife Lucy runs the weddings, festivals and events side of the business.
