“Nearly Norfolk” farmer recalls his first and rather terrifying start in the county.
Andrew Summers has been farming pigs in North Norfolk since 1989. The land he rented for his first herd from Cromer Hall was once visited by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and served as inspiration for his best-known Sherlock Holmes mystery, The Hound of the Baskervilles.
“I was 24 years old and had given up a secure, well-paid job at Easton College in Norwich to set up on my own,” said Andrew.
