As a west-Londoner, the closest Karen Meloy had come to living off the land was tending the allotment she rented close to home in Hounslow. Today, she and her husband, Chris, own and work their own Norfolk smallholding, raising sheep (and soon pigs), and growing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables.
Meloy knows how to build fences, pickle the produce she has grown to stock her larder and is learning how to spin the sheep’s wool.
