He works with the Country Trust to host school visits on his own farm and supports Open Farm Sunday. He is a proud tenant of the Crown Estate who sponsored his Nuffield Scholarship in 2006. He was the co-originator of the Agrespect initiative in 2018 to give visibility to LGBT people in the countryside.
