Having spent 10 years working in the film industry, Tom Martin (F: @FarmerTomUK) returned home to the family farm, a regereative, predominantly arable holding in Cambridgeshire focusing on wheat, OSR, barley, and beans, as well as fattening sheep on grass. Tom has a passion for farming, and especially in sharing what happens ‘behind the farm gate’, which has led him to become involved in the CLA, NFU, and LEAF, as well as writing monthly in local publications and hosting a well-supported presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as ‘Farmer Tom’. Tom is a confident speaker, addressing groups such as Young Farmer Clubs, livestock societies, community organisations, and groups across the globe.

In 2016 Tom launched the successful #FarmerTime initiative linking farmers to classes for regular video calls, and the project now has c.600 farmers in the UK connecting classes representing c.18,000 children with food, farming, and rural life. The project also operates in Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Australia, and is piloting in USA. Life outside farming sees a range of passions including counselling, church, a recently established orchard, and exploring the British Isles with his wife, Lisa.
