The Green Farm Collective
The Green Farm Collective is a group of farmers who met via a competition called ‘Soil Farmer of the Year’.
They believe in regenerative agriculture and the benefits of reduced pesticides, increased carbon capture and improved biodiversity, water, air and soil.
They all work hard to improve the habitats and biodiversity on our farms and love to welcome people to come and see what they are doing.
The Green Farm Collective mission is to build a community that invests in and offsets personal and business environmental footprints in nature-enhancing projects.
Their network of British farmers are creating and managing nature and carbon-enhancing projects on their farms through adopting practices which encourage nature, build soil health and increase carbon storage and protect the countryside’s watercourses.
