OK I get the belief that Helen is a competent cheese maker - but she
lives and works on a family farm which appears to be supporting her and
her family, Tom and at least part of his family (Natasha has her own >business) and Pat'n'Tony whilst Brookfield can only support one family.
Has anyone done the sums?
I can also believe that if Reuben Sparrow was opening an organic dairy >somewhere in Scotland then it might be a big new challenge to take on >Director of Operations for that and build new brands and new reputations
on a much larger scale than Bodge Farm (where the audit will point out

This is nearly as bad as David selling Brookfield.
