My dad farmed, my granddad was a farmer. I wanted to be a farmer.

I'm a farmer. I always will be a farmer. When I die, I'll be a farmer. It's something that I've wanted to do since I was 8 years old. I can tell you also that I see opportunity slipping away for our kids.

But as a young kid, I never did, really have an ambition to be a farmer. I never thought, gee, I would like to farm, and I want to raise these crops. I didn't quite know what I wanted to do.

We've got nine generations of farmers in my family, in Warwickshire. And I do feel connected to being a farmer's son. There was a time when I didn't, when I rebelled against it, but there's certainly that sort of work ethic within me.

I'm a farmer now, and it's fantastic. My goal is to be totally self-sufficient and grow everything that I eat. There's something about earning your dinner that's cool.

We've got this cultural mentality that you've got to be an idiot to be a farmer.

It brings up happy old days when I was only a farmer and not an agriculturist.

It has long been a childhood dream of mine to have a farm.

I come from the countryside. I come from a bunch of horticulture family members. My best friend was a farmer's boy.

I came from a farming background, and my career was teaching.
