Farm walk: Grow profits from healthy soil - Cumbria

This event will take place at Gaythorne Hall. Our host, Jim Beary, has farmed at Gaythorne Hall since 2021.

He has established a successful forage-based regenerative grazing system over 360 hectares with sheep and beef cattle, plus laying hen and pig rearing enterprises on farm.

Native breed cattle and maternal-focused sheep breeds are mob grazed on a combination of herbal leys, permanent pasture and rougher grazing, and outwintering strategies include forage crops, bale grazing and deferred grazing.

The walk will include an overview of the Regenerate Outcomes programme, while Stuart Johnson - from our mentoring partner Understanding Ag - will unpack some of the principles of soil health and explain how farms can use key indicators to inform their management.
