This meeting will cover

Guest Speaker Tom Fairfax from Mindrum Estate, Northumberland, will present a talk on his journey through regenerative farming:

• What he has done over years of careful management and how he has done it
• What is he still doing and planning to continue doing in the future?
• His take on maximising livestock integration within a mixed farming system
• How has his management approach and regenerative journey affected his cost of production and business efficiency?
• ‘Soil health’ – What does this look like? Tom will bring his microscopes to demonstrate a different view of our soils. With this activity, attendees are welcome to bring a soil sample of their own should they wish
