Flavian Obiero is a first-time farmer, just starting to get his pig business up and running on rented land in Hampshire. He moved to the UK from Kenya as a teenager, and was bitten by the farming bug after a stint of work experience on a farm near Basingstoke. He still works there part-time, but now has around seventy Tamworth pigs of his own to look after, as well as a herd of goats. He's also training as an apprentice butcher. It's a busy year for Flavian and his partner Nikki: they only took up the tenancy of their council farm near Fareham four months ago, and are expecting their first child in the autumn. Charlotte Smith visits Tynefield farm to find out how the new venture is going, and asks Flavian what drew him to a life in agriculture in the first place.
