Join Regenerate Outcomes’ summer farm walks in England and Scotland

Regenerate Outcomes are hosting a series of farm walks in the UK this summer.

Strategies to improve soil health on a mixed farm Mindrum, Northumberland, August 2nd

Join us at Mindrum Farm where Tom Fairfax has been trialling different management techniques to boost soil biology and organic matter in arable and pasture contexts. Tom will be joined by regenerative pioneer Dr Allen Williams of Understanding Ag.

The farm walk will cover:

* The six Principles of Soil Health and the three Rules of Adaptive Stewardship that drive the four Ecosystem Processes to build more resilient and profitable farms

* How to improve field observational skills to improve soil health

* We’ll see different grazing practices on varying pasture types, wheat crops undersown with clover and areas of wood pasture

* We’ll visit fields that have responded differently to management changes and discuss strategies to maximise positive outcomes

The event will also be a chance to learn how Regenerate Outcomes is working with farmers across the UK to improve soil health.

Accelerating Soil Health and Business Resilience with Allen WilliamsConygree Farm, the Cotswolds, August 5th

Regenerate Outcomes are excited to be working with Pasture for Life to organise this practical, interactive workshop with Allen Williams from Understanding Ag, hosted by Jonty Brunyee and the team at Conygree farm.

Join us to hear from Allen about how to use regenerative grazing to accelerate the restoration of soil health and how to apply whole-farm planning and enterprise stacking to make your farm business more profitable and resilient.

Allen will share case studies and field data that show how these approaches can impact your farming system and business, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

Then we'll set off for a walk around Conygree farm to see some of these approaches in action and Allen will lead a soil assessment exercise to help you apply them on your own farm.

Soil health farm walk - Angus
Easter Denoon, Angus, August 6th

Join us for this farm walk at Easter Denoon, in Angus, where Robert Brewster's family have been livestock faming since 1946. Robert will be joined by Stuart Johnson of Understanding Ag who was named 2023 Soil Farmer of the Year.

The farm has been organic since 1990 and began practising mob grazing in 2012. Robert runs a commercial herd of cattle with genetics introduced by his grandfather and a herd of Pedigree Angus, with a strong focus on grass-fed genetics.

Regenerate Outcomes is delighted to be working with Pasture for Life to put on this event.

Soil health farm walk - Easter Ross
Fearn Farm, Easter Ross, August 7th

Join us for this farm walk at Fearn Farm in Easter Ross. Successive generations have added their mark to what is now a modern mixed farming business with high quality livestock at its core.

However, Fearn’s traditional blend of sheep, cattle and crops hasn’t changed and the family still find that a mixture of enterprises suit them, the land capability and the environment.

Farmer John Scott will be joined by Stuart Johnson of Understanding Ag who was named 2023 Soil Farmer of the Year.

Regenerate Outcomes is delighted to be working with Pasture for Life to put on this event.

Soil health farm walk - Northumberland
West Wharmley Farm, Hexham, September 12th

This event will take place on West Wharmley Farm, which is run by Stuart Johnson.

Profitability and resilience were the key drivers for Stuart Johnson to begin reducing inputs and focusing on soil health on his farm in Northumberland.

Over the last 10 years he has moved to a no-till and mob grazing system, bringing financial resilience while eliminating the use of insecticide and fungicide. Stuart was recently named 2023 Soil Farmer of the Year.

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

Attendees are welcome to bring along other guests who may be interested in the event.
