Tara Wright is a 4th generation farmer, working with her father near Wimbleball Lake. They have a small suckler herd of Dexter cows, a fish farm, and sheep, with a particular love for the native breed Devon Closewool. The connection between farming and the environment has always been obvious to Tara—both her parents have a keen interest in it and it rubbed off on her at an early age. The farm and love for wildlife inspired her to get a degree in zoology from Bangor University in 2006. She feels strongly that the future of Exmoor depends on being able to produce high-quality food whilst farming in a way that is sympathetic to the environment and conservation. For farming and nature to flourish they need to work together. This is the approach that she and her father have taken on their farm and Tara is committed to continuing this.
