  • Going Against the Grain - Henry Astor from Bruern Farms

    Going Against the Grain - Henry Astor from Bruern Farms
    Apr 6 2026

    Today we’re heading to the Cotswolds to meet Henry Astor who runs Bruern Farms. Henry took on the reigns of the family farm from his father in 2017 and decided that creating diversity on the farm was the way to meet the challenges of the post Brexit farming landscape. The farm’s arable enterprise was joined by a herd of English long horns, saddleback pigs, chickens, and a host of building diversifications including turning a grain dryer into studio spaces and grain silos into work spaces. Henry also bought a flour mill, began brewing beer, started a market garden, began growing heritage grains, bought a cold press to make sunflower oil, built a farm shop and café. He also helped to found the North East Cotswold Farm Cluster which has over 125 farms in its membership. Henry also lived and worked in the USA for many years.
