Would love to see the business model for "with my business partner Isobel Davies, who has a 500-strong flock of rescued rare-breed sheep and produces non-slaughter wool, "
So 500 fleeces at lets say £2, less say 90p shearing costs, makes £550 a year gross income off of presumably around 100 acres, or an income of £5.50 an acre, before any bought in feed, worming, vacination, and capital costs.
Not so much of a business partner, more of a charity for someone with loads of money.
Incidentally Isobel Davies is the sort of back to nature, basic living who can say "A few years ago I bought an Alberta Ferretti jacket that I never even wore. I spent about £1,700. It didn't suit me. Every few months after work I used to drive up to Harvey Nichols and have a really expensive binge. I think with shopping you are either not in the mood and nothing suits you, or everything suits you and you want everything, so you have a feast."
So obviously counting the pennies there then ! |
