Humbled, Grateful, and Still in Shock – Best Woman in Agriculture Award!
Last week, something truly special happened. I was honoured (and completely taken by surprise!) to receive the Best Woman in Agriculture award at the Cornwall’s Farm Business Awards, hosted at the iconic Eden Project and hosted by the Addington Fund.
For one evening, we swapped the mud and wellies for dresses and tuxedos and what a night it was!
To be recognised among such inspiring individuals and organisations who are making real, lasting impact across agriculture is something I’ll never forget. The room was full of innovation, passion, and genuine love for the land and community, and I’m incredibly humbled to be part of that.
A heartfelt thank you goes to:
@regenerativefarmersofuk for the nomination: you caught me completely off guard (in the best way!)
The judges for their kind words and recognition
Everyone who made the evening so memorable
Reflecting on the past five years, it’s been quite the ride for Chris and me. Like most farming journeys, it’s been full of highs and lows, but also immense growth, learning, and endless muddy boots! And I’m not short of ideas yet—so watch this space.
Massive congratulations to all the incredible winners and nominees:
Best Commercial Farmer – D J Keat & Son, Tremayle Farm
Best Dairy Farmer – The Jenkin Family, Treworgie Farm
Best Farm Processor – Ben & Sam Parker, Callestick Farm Ice Cream
Rising Star – Jack Marchant, The Cornish Buffalo
Best Farmworker – Tom Chapman, Corgee Farm
Farming Champion – Wendy Nicholas, Trevedra Farm
Cornwall’s Farmer of the Year 2025 – Ben & Sam Parker, Callestick Farm Ice Cream
Every one of you is doing amazing things for the future of farming in Cornwall and beyond.
As the music played and the celebrations took off, I was reminded of the community that makes this sector so special. Here’s to continuing the hard work, challenging the status quo, and championing sustainable, regenerative, and inclusive agriculture.
With gratitude and muddy boots (again),
Inez Williams-King
