THE PEOPLE


david walston

2014 Nuffield Scholar David Walston is a third-generation farmer focusing mainly on arable production at Thriplow Farms near Cambridge. He previously worked as a photographer and magazine editor. “Wagyu first came to my attention during a trip to Japan in 2011, after which I started importing embryos from the USA, building up the herd to around 25 Fullbloods over the course of several years. I think the Wagyu industry is very exciting, and in the time I have been involved it has grown massively in public recognition. Key to its success is delivering consistent quality to those customers who are willing to pay a premium for a fantastic eating experience.”
