We farm 2500 acres regeneratively and organically, applying a holistic management and enterprise stacking approach. We currently grow organic crops including linseed, oilseed rape, borage, beans, gluten-free oats and heritage wheats/grain varieties and have 480 New Zealand Frisian Jersey crossbreed dairy cows and a mobile milking parlour, with us managing cows on the herbal ley grassland. This is run as a shared-farm partnership.
Our vision at Kingsclere is to regenerate the estate for a fertile future by encouraging the growth of a circular community – of growers, farmers, producers and local businesses. We have seen first-hand the outcome of commodity farming, and the benefits of working within a circular economy designing out waste and pollution, keeping materials in use for as long as possible, and regenerating natural systems. We actively look for new partners, through our annual Pitch Up! campaign, who want to be part of this exciting journey alongside us, as there is opportunity for 20-30 different enterprises to stack on top of what we are currently doing on the farm.
