Put Your Wellies On with...Tom Copas

November 17, 2021 • This Is Nessie

This week on Put Your Wellies On we are accompanied by (not-so-peaceful) birdsong. We stopped off at the amazing Turkey farm run by Tom Copas and his family. We strolled around the turkey fields with Tom, hearing all about this multi-generational family farm, the challenges of the turkey industry in the face of Brexit, Covid and the other challenges we're facing right now.

Not only this, but we touch upon Tom's transition to father himself, and how he and his amazing wife Verity are balancing a teeny baby during the busiest season of the year for them! We absolutely loved learning all about turkey farming, and farm life (although Maple did get her little nose zapped by the electric turkey fence when she decided she wanted her Christmas dinner a little early this year!)
