- Credit: Danielle Booden We were really panicking. With us, there is no big financial backing. We have not got a big farm, we are first generation farmers and we started this up from nothing. We went down the live market route selling our bulls and heifers and lambs to Thame market (in Oxfordshire) and it was a couple of months into Covid we decided to support Norwich Market. That has worked really well for us because you have got animals born and bred in Norfolk being sold in Norfolk as well, which was wonderful.
