R2Kast 318 - Chloe Lucas on Nursing, Highland Cows, and Finding Farming
April 07, 2025 · 58 min

Today we welcome Chloe Lucas onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ Chloe’s story is one of transformation—beginning in London as a children’s nurse with no farming background, to becoming a passionate advocate for agriculture through her work with Highland cattle. 🐮🌱

Chloe opens up about the mental health struggles she faced during the pandemic as an NHS paediatric nurse and how this led her to discover a new path through farming. From watching Clarkson’s Farm to volunteering on livestock farms, Chloe shares how rural life became her therapy. 🧠❤️

She speaks about her incredible connection with her Highland cows, her voluntary farming adventures across the UK, and her unique fusion of healthcare and agriculture. Chloe now works with Barleylands to educate schoolchildren about food origins. 🧑‍🌾📚

Nominated for the Women in Agriculture Influencer of the Year award, Chloe’s humble approach, powerful story, and community spirit shine. Her story reminds us that it’s never too late to find purpose, and that farming welcomes everyone—regardless of background. Good luck on May 6th, Chloe! 🏆✨

Enjoy! 😊
