Beef & Lamb Strategic Farmer Adrian Coombe, Dupath Farm
Dupath Farm is managed by Adrian Coombe. Adrian grew up on the family mixed farm on the Cornwall and Devon border and has always had a keen interest in the farm. Later, he studied at Harper Adams University which included a placement year on an Australian cotton, arable and sheep farm. Soon after graduating, he returned back home and was made partner. In 2017, after five years of running the business with his wife, they decided to take succession, however his dad still has an active role.
He applied to be a Strategic Farm hoping to improve grassland management and overall efficiencies across the business. "I’m looking forward to the whole process, from having the business reviewed, hosting events and hopefully showing progress towards my goals."
