Ingram Valley Farm has been named runner-up in the best rural diversification project category at this year’s Rural Business Awards.
The farm, run by Rebecca Wilson alongside her husband Ross and father-in-law Johnny, reintroduced red deer to the valley in 2019, where they first roamed 10,000 years ago.
They invested in new handling facilities and now have more than 150 red deer on the farm, as well as 1,400 sheep, 1,500 prime lambs and 100 cattle.
