Hilary Shepherd

Hilary Shepherd grew up in suburban Hertfordshire with ambitions for the rural life which were fuelled by a spell in Ghana. Three years later, after two years in the Sudan working for the U.N, she and her husband bought a smallholding near Llandrindod Wells in the Welsh borders where they farmed for ten years. Since then, Hilary has advised farmers who wished to go into organic conversion and been renovating a Welsh farmhouse and a derelict cottage in a beautiful Spanish village.
