Charlotte Ashley is a Cumbrian dairy and mixed farmer, social media storyteller, and co‑host of the popular Wilson & Ashley Podcast.
Based on a family‑run farm in Bolton, Appleby, she and her husband Roy, milk Jersey cows using robotic systems and also manage a flock of sheep, blending traditional agriculture with modern technology.
Charlotte’s journey into farming began over a decade ago after working in care — a leap she made out of passion rather than pedigree. Since then, she’s built a thriving dairy enterprise and a vibrant online presence where she shares the realities of rural life with humour, honesty, and insight, helping bridge the gap between farming communities and the wider public.
Unlike many in the sector, Charlotte Ashley didn’t grow up farming; she entered agriculture after meeting her husband and gradually embraced life on the farm.
Over time, Charlotte began capturing the realities of running a farm on video, growing her audience and building a distinctive presence online. She emphasises that while much of farming may seem ordinary, there’s always something worth sharing, and that connecting with the public through authentic content has helped her business grow. Charlotte also speaks about the importance of modernising the way farming is presented and engaging audiences in ways that reflect both profitability and strong animal welfare.
As a co‑host of The Wilson & Ashley Podcast alongside Rebecca Wilson, Charlotte brings her farming experience, trending topics, and sharp, unfiltered commentary to conversations about food, agriculture, rural culture and beyond — all delivered in a way that feels like a chat between friends.

She’s recognised for her down‑to‑earth storytelling, her embrace of innovation on the farm, and her commitment to making farming more accessible and understood by audiences both inside and outside the industry.
