Britain's Oldest Farming Couple Reflect | Sheffield News

Ninety-six-year-old Steve and seventy-three-year-old Jean, Britain’s oldest farming couple, opened up about the heartbreak of stopping their dairy operation in 2015—forced by Steve’s declining health.

Steve still remembers specific cows, while Jean broke down recalling their legacy. But life on Stony Brough isn’t over—they’re now raising new calves, finding fresh purpose on the land that’s been their life. This touching story, featured on Channel Five’s At Home With The Greens, reminds us of the profound bond farmers share with their land and animals—and the sacrifices that come with lifelong dedication.
