Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, self-styled as 'The Black Farmer', came to Britain from Jamaica as a small boy and grew up in poverty as one of nine siblings. He was often 'very, very, very hungry'. At an early age he became determined to own his own farm. Despite leaving school with no qualifications, after a career in television and then in PR, he realised his dream and now sells produce into supermarkets across the country as well as at his farm shop in Brixton. Here he tells his story, describes his mission to bring about change and how as an outsider he sees opportunity, tackles issues of race and discrimination, gives his verdict on whether the countryside is racist, recounts his experiences of being mistaken for a delivery driver and a chauffeur, explains the importance of having a Guardian Angel, reveals why he's a Tory, argues that the system failed him, maps out the future of farming, heralds the age of AI in work, calls on the National Trust and Church of England to help diversify land ownership and calls out what he sees as an "appalling" lack of diversity in the food and farming industry, highlights the role of consumer power, rejects quotas and champions the audacity of dreaming big. For the diversity and inclusion policies of the National Trust, Church of England, Aldi, Lidl and other supermarkets, see their websites.

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE is the founder of "The Black Farmer" range of food products. For the last Jazz Shapers of the year, Wilfred joins Elliot to share his remarkable stories of overcoming adversity as he fought for his childhood dream, to own his own farm.
Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones grew up in poverty in Birmingham, having come with his parents from Jamaica as part of the Windrush generation. One of nine children, and as the oldest boy, it was his job to help his father on their allotment, which they used to supplement the family income. And it was on that allotment he first dreamt of owning his own farm. His drive to change his circumstances was relentless, which was needed, because he had to excel at several different career stages just to give himself the chance of building his company. Wilfred gave Gordon Ramsey his big break in television, having been given his own break in TV, thanks to his raw persistence. Then after finally buying his farm, he set up The Black Farmer, a name coined by neighbours of his farm in Devon. He's written a book, called ‘Jeopardy - The Dangers of Playing it Safe', so has really thought about the things that have made him successful - the stuff we want to know about. How did he hone his mindset and achieve his lifelong dream? Why does he celebrate being an outsider? And why is fear so important for entrepreneurs? Listen to find out.

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, also known as The Black Farmer, hopes he can increase the diversity of the students at the Royal Agricultural University, where he has been appointed as governor. To change the industry for the future he says more land must be made available to new entrants and farming as a career needs to be "sexed up"! The author of the UK Food Strategy, Henry Dimbleby has called for a ‘Land Use Framework' during an evidence session with the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee of MPs. Mr Dimbleby said there should be a plan for land use…which defines how much land is set aside for nature, how much is farmed with nature in mind, and how much is put over to intensive food production And the oldest trout farm in England says drought is threatening its future after losing thousands of fish in the extreme heats of the summer. Bibury Trout Farm in the Cotswolds says it has lost more than 25,000 fish after a lack of rainfall affected water levels on the River Coln. Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, AKA, The Black Farmer, is a force to be reckoned with. A child of the Windrush generation, he left Jamaica and moved to Birmingham where he lived with 10 family members in a two-up two-down. Nobody would have believed then that he would go on to become a wildly successful farmer and entrepreneur – nobody except him, perhaps. Key to his success has been his attitude, “you have to be audacious”, he tells Elisa Roche in this episode of the Career Conversations podcast series. Even as a young boy, growing up in an area he describes as “the pits”, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones was driven to do better for himself. Roped in to help his dad on his allotment, bought to supplement the family's income, he soon found his calling: “I absolutely loved being on our allotment as a child because it was an oasis away from the misery I was surrounded by. “At the age of 11, I made myself a promise, that one day I would like to own my own farm.” But before he could achieve his dream, he had an equally successful career working in the media. “I could hardly read or write,” he says. But he worked for free opening the gates for the security guards at the BBC studios in Birmingham, before moving up the ranks and eventually helping to launch the TV careers of the likes of Gordon Ramsey and Raymond Blanc. Listen to the full episode to find out how Wilfred decided to call his farm foods brand The Black Farmer, learn more about his passion for linking rural and urban communities, and why his motto is “never ask for permission, just ask for forgiveness.” Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones MBE, AKA, The Black Farmer Wilfred is an entrepreneur, businessman, author and founder of The Black Farmer brand. He recently launched his online shop The Black Farmer Experience, which has been a long-held ambition. Here visitors can shop everything from the brand's famous gluten free sausages; grass fed, free-range meat and poultry, and sustainably caught fish, Caribbean specialities, deli and unusual gifts. Wilfred is, in his own words, ‘a poor boy, done good'. He was born in Jamaica and then, after his parents came to the UK in the 50s as part of the Windrush generation, was raised in inner city Birmingham. A classic entrepreneur, Wilfred has vision; passion; enthusiasm; determination; the ability to inspire and motivate others; he never accepts the status quo; never takes no for an answer; never shies away from hard work.
What does diversity bring to agriculture?During episode 7, we speak with Wilfred Emmanuel Jones MBE, founder of the Black Farmer brand, to discuss the power of a diverse community and his new venture 'The Black Farmer Experience'.Later, we further catch up with Ben Theo Andrews to talk about his experiences in farming alongside being an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.Join us as we spark a conversation about how valuing representation from all areas, races, genders and sexualities, can strengthen the farming industry and widen the skillset.
Wilfred was born in Jamaica and raised in Birmingham; unqualified but persistent, he talked his way into television, becoming a producer/director. Responsible for introducing chefs like James Martin, Antony Worrall-Thompson, Brian Turner and Gordon Ramsay to the small screen – but he's now known simply as The Black Farmer. After a stint in TV, Wilfred fulfilled his ambition to own a small farm in Devon. Wilfred spotted that while many farmers had lost contact with the customer, he could engage directly with them and even persuade them to lobby supermarkets on his behalf. This led Wilfred to launch a range of sausages and sauces under the Black Farmer label; Wilfred's brand now extends to country clothing. Flavours without Frontiers sums up Wilfred's personality and philosophy, and he refuses to be confined by race, convention or tradition. His forthright opinions on rural affairs and what he sees as justice for small producers often arouse media attention. Wilfred has won entrepreneur awards, and in his presentations, he argues that everyone must take personal responsibility for their actions, no matter how disadvantaged. The alternative is to slide into a culture of victimhood. As part of his commitment to broadening horizons, he has launched a scholarship to give young people from inner-city communities an opportunity to experience life in a rural environment.

She talks to three people who have been at the forefront of the conversation: Melissa Thompson who runs the food and recipe project Foulmouths, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones who runs the brand The Black Farmer, and Riaz Phillips - author of Belly Full, a book about Britain’s Caribbean food.

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, also known as The Black Farmer, is someone who has always followed his own path. After arriving from Jamaica at the age of 3, growing up in a terrace house in Birmingham, and being diagnosed as dyslexic - it might have seemed like the odds were stacked against Wilfred. But time spent on his fathers allotment led him to dream of one day owning his own farm. After a successful career in Television and PR, Wilfred realised this dream; buying his own farm and launching his brand ‘The Black Farmer’. Holly visited Wilfred to hear his incredible story of following his dream through adversity, not conforming and being proud to stand out, and how recently overcoming leukaemia, gave him the strength to finally tell his story through his new book - Jeopardy.
