Dartmoor Sheep

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

22 year old Lewis Steer has quadrupled the size of his sheep flock in a matter of months. He says he's the only farmer in the UK to keep all three of Dartmoor's native breeds together. Everything except the 'baa' is sold directly to the customer - meat, knitting wool, and sheepskins. Sarah Swadling meets Lewis as he prepares his flock for a business milestone, moving them to a large block of land he's renting for the first time.
