Generations of willow: an interview with JSW grower Ron Wells of Durham Lees Farm

We recently travelled to Oxfordshire to catch up with one of our long-standing growers and friends, Ron Wells of Durham Lees Farm. In this insightful interview, Ron takes us on a journey through the history of his farm, sharing stories of the generations who have worked the land.

He discusses the decision to diversify into growing English Willow for JS Wright & Sons, explaining why he made that choice and, more importantly, what has kept him partnering with us for so long. Ron speaks candidly about the unique service we provide, the tangible benefits of working with us for his business, and shares his personal perspective on why farming remains, for him, a rewarding way of life.
