Having secured some of Emma's land, he now runs a thriving vegetable business and works with Emma to build his brand up. 

Emma, a former winner and teacher, is passionate about education - Nonington is well-known for its educational classes and on-farm experiences. 

Jack has thrived in his journey so far, and won BBC Countryfile's Young Countryside Champion award at the end of 2023.
