  • Lowri Rees-Roberts lives with her husband and four young children on their family farm in Llanuwchllyn near Bala.  Her husband, Gwyn, works as a civil engineer (currently focusing on hydro schemes) and manages the family farm of 250 Welsh mountain sheep and over 60 Welsh Black cattle.
  • After graduating from Trinity College, Carmarthen with a degree in Humanities, she began her career as a journalist for Y Cymro. This sparked her interest in writing. During her time with Y Cymro, Lowri developed a working relationship with members of the bilingual press in Wales and beyond. She progressed to the role of Deputy Editor.
  • Her work as a journalist involved a lot of travelling, so in 2000 she started working freelance from home. Since then, Lowri has worked for numerous papers including the Western Mail, Daily Post, Welsh Living, Golwg, Y Cymro, Cymru’r Byd, Denbighshire Free Press and the Cambrian News.  In 2006, Lowri established her own company, LR, offering a variety of services from promotional projects to writing statements.
  • Lowri was appointed an Agrisgôp leader in 2013. One of her greatest achievements was working with an Agrisgôp group to produce Dyddiadur Amaeth, an agricultural Welsh-language diary with the Lolfa Press which is now a hugely popular and in-demand annual ‘must have’ for many farming families in Wales.
