So who are we anyway...?

Hi!

My name is Rodrigo and together with my wife Kirsten, we own Wandering Feathers.

happy young farming couple on theri new journey

Our dream wasn't just about escaping to the countryside; we wanted to become active members of our community, contributing to a thriving local food system.

Now, we are committed to cultivating relationships centered around sustainable food practices that benefit both the environment and our consumers.

We’re excited to engage with local businesses, schools and anyone interested in learning about our practices so we invite you to get in touch and arrange a visit!

My journey began in the hospitality industry, working in high-end restaurants, bustling pubs and even private boarding schools.

Spending a decade honing my skills and learning the trade, I developed a deep appreciation of how food is grown and handled in the system.

At the time, Kirsten was working as a Primary School Teacher. She had a deep passion for education, but she began to notice a great disconnect between children and their knowledge of where food comes from.

This together with our aspriations for a rural life fueled our decision to pursue sustainable agriculture and lead to our first major risk.

...we shared dreams of leaving the London we grew up in and swapping it for a simpler, more fulfilling rural life.

It's been a journey filled with uncertainty, but we decided to take the risks and make the sacrifices necessary to achieve our goals.

Along the way, we built meaningful relationships with farmers across the UK who gave us an insight into rural life and the various farming systems.

Having made a realtionship with the team at Kingsclere Estates, we forged a partnership through their Pitch Up! campaign. We now produce our Organic Eggs here and want to expand into other poutry products soon.

Being able to work alongside an establish farming business has been invaluable to us as we can share labour, skills and capital.
