28/12/20 - The Dartmoor Shepherd
When Lewis Steer's childhood dream of becoming a shepherd came true, he decided to replicate what farmers were doing on Dartmoor thousands of years ago.
When Lewis Steer was a teenager, he believed that not coming from a farming background would put his dream career out of reach. Not inheriting a family tradition though forced him and his partner Flora Searson (aka The Dartmoor Shepherd) to look at agriculture differently. Along with their sheepdog Moss, they now farm 800 sheep across 16 different sites on the moor, putting into practice their vision for sustainable production that seeks to replicate what farmers were doing on Dartmoor thousands of years ago.
