Guy moved to farm at Sandystones, near Jedburgh in the Borders in 1991 with three young children and wife Philippa, where son Hugo took over the management of the business with daughter in law Jess in 2017. On a total of 240 hectares they grow combinable crops of wheat, winter and spring barley, oilseed rape and oats. 500 head of Angus sired cattle are bought annually as stores and finished on a combination of grazed grass and a TMR ration. 35 hectares are farmed organically with 8000 hens in four mobile 2000 bird sheds laying eggs for Waitrose. 15 hectares of organic oats are grown for milling.
They publish Agrimart, a monthly magazine produced for the farming community, mailed free of charge to 6000 farms and rural businesses from York to Aberdeen and in 2022 the treehouse was opened, providing holiday accommodation in a unique setting.
