For this episode I was in my element talking to Andrew Pimbley of Claremont Farm about life’s most simple but important joys – food, music, community and being outdoors in nature.
Andrew and his brother are the fourth generation of Pimbley’s to farm the land at Claremont Farm on the Wirral, which they have been doing since 1904. As tenant farmers they don’t own the land so they need to make it work as hard for them as possible while they have their lease.
With farming having been in decline for a number of decades Andrew and his family have been entrepreneurial and innovative in how they have diversified and extended their offering beyond growing fruit and vegetables.
As well as their shop and café they host Farm Feast – a festival of food, drink and live music for people of all ages to come together and enjoy, they have a fishery, and even put on cookery and bush craft skills experiences – and that’s only the half of it.
But always at the very heart of their business is a passion and a commitment to bringing the best of the regions produce to their local community and bringing their community together to enjoy life’s simplest pleasures.
Like for so many local businesses who supply food to our communities, Claremont had to quickly adapt when the first lockdown happened in March stepping in to feed their local community when the supermarkets national and global supply and logistics chains failed.
I was truly energised and inspired by my conversation with Andrew, hearing him talk with such passion and enthusiasm for what he does.
Andrew seems to thrive on thinking of ideas and isn’t afraid to try new things. He says “Don’t be afraid of failing. Always try new things. Follow your gut. If it doesn’t work then it doesn’t work, but you’ll have learnt something from it”.
