Episode One - Bex Heywood - Lely Astronaut

We’re on farm in Croyde, Devon with Lely robot customer & young farmer Bex Heywood for the first podcast in our new ‘Meet Our Farmer’ series. In this episode we talk to Bex about returning home to North Hole Farm after university and how she has helped the farm diversify by adding the very popular Milk's Up milk vending machine to their farming enterprise. 10 years ago, the Heywood’s installed an Astronaut A3 Next milking robot along with the Grazeway system allowing their herd the choice of when to be milked and when to graze outside. The two systems working in tandem has given the family the time to diversify into value adding initiatives such as daughter Bex’s Milks Up vending machine, which uses pasteurised milk from their grass-fed organic herd and Linda’s North Hole Farm holiday cottages.
