Balancing farm and family with Tim & Camilla Rutherford

The Quorum Sense Podcast

Tim and Camilla Rutherford explore what it takes to bring regenerative practices to high country Merino production, and how it's benefited business, personal and family life. A wonderful conversation, it covers the introduction of mob grazing, the challenges of high country water supply, and the move away from cultivation, monocropping and chemical use.

Camilla also talks about her continuing professional photography career, and the passion she has for telling the story of regenerative agriculture through images and film in a way that's connected beyond the farming community. And Tim – a fourth generation farmer – shares fondly about both the experience of farming alongside his father, and beginning the same journey with their children.
