Here at Muck Boots, we never use models to tell our brand story. Instead, we connect with our hard-working community to capture our footwear being put through their paces in everyday lives. The Morndyke family have worn Muck Boot for generations, and we were honoured to collaborate for our Winter Photoshoot.
The Morndyke Farm is a family run farm situated in James Herriot country in the village of Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
Morndyke Farm has been in the Phillips family for over 100 years, currently owned and managed by husband-and-wife team, Tricia and Alan. Initially producing bricks, the farm has diversified throughout the generations and now consists of arable land, a fishing lake, equestrian facilities, shepherds’ huts, a beef herd as well as being home to a menagerie of rescue animals, lovingly cared for by Tricia.
Keeping all these plates spinning requires exceptional dedication, and the Morndyke team are as dedicated and passionate as they come. Each with their own connection to the farm, please meet the people behind Morndyke Farm, and the faces (and feet!!) of the Winter photoshoot!
