FED by Farmers Podcast

This week we manage ti squeeze in a brief Friday chat where we get a Christmas catchup and Iona tells us about her pending crusade. 

This week we are joined by Steve Mitchell of The Buffalo Farm in Kirkaldy, Fife. Steve shot to fame after appearing on This Farming Life and has since made other Tv appearances including working alongside Gordon Ramsay.

In this podcast Steve tells us about his journey into buffalo and how he went from flying high to suddenly crashing back down to earth when the business had to enter administration in 2025.

We hope you enjoy, Cammy & Iona
