Our Farm
Earth Trust Farm spans 530 hectares of Oxfordshire countryside, hectares including 216 hectares of arable and 165 hectares of agricultural grassland . We’re committed to demonstrating how farming can meet today’s urgent challenges.
Our vision is a farming landscape where food production helps nature thrive, strengthens climate resilience, and connects people with their environment. Through hands-on implementation, we’re proving that regenerative farming practices can restore soil health, support species recovery, and sustain livelihoods.
As part of Earth Trust’s core approach of demonstrate, engage, and influence, our farm is a place where sustainable farming practices are put into action, shared with others, and used to inspire meaningful change. We’re building on established methods to show how farms can deliver multiple benefits: from producing healthy food to creating thriving spaces for wildlife and communities.
Our approach
Through our farm, we aim to address some of the most pressing challenges in farming today:
- Restoring nature and biodiversity: Agriculture shapes over 70% of the UK’s landscape, but wildlife populations are under severe pressure. Our practices focus on creating habitats that help nature recover, from flower-rich pastures to hedgerows.
- Responding to climate change: Farms can play a vital role in climate resilience by improving soil health, capturing carbon, and adapting to unpredictable weather.
- Balancing productivity with stewardship: Farmers are grappling with rising costs and policy changes. By demonstrating practical solutions, we’re showing how environmental care and farm viability can go hand in hand.
- Connecting communities with the land: Farming is about more than food—it’s about the landscapes we enjoy, the heritage we protect, and the lessons we share.
Our work is grounded in collaboration, learning from others, and sharing our journey transparently so others can adapt these approaches to their own contexts.
