After a period at St Dunstan’s where he was rehabilitated and taught new skills such as basket weaving, the cello and how to read and write in braille, Sam chose to train as a farmer and went to St Dunstan’s poultry farm at King’s Langley on 28 April 1919. Sam got his first tenancy farm at Morley Farm in Leicestershire with 50 acres with the support of St Dustan’s. He kept a mixed farm with 28 dairy cattle until he bought Ingleberry Farm next door…where the family still farm today. The Taylors are now in their fourth generation of farming and currently have 5,000 acres of arable land and have a number of combines for contracting work.
