I recently had the pleasure of visiting Eves Hill Farm in Norfolk. This is a family run farm that is using regenerative agriculture to boost biodiversity and improve the health of their land.

Regenerative agriculture is a farming approach that goes beyond sustainability, focusing on rebuilding soil health, enhancing ecosystems, and increasing biodiversity.

And with good reason.

The world-leading study, State of Nature, finds no let-up in the decline of our wildlife, with one in six species at risk of being lost from Great Britain.

The UK is classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries, nearly one in six of the more than ten thousand species assessed (16%) are at risk of being lost from Great Britain.

However, this figure is much higher for some groups such as birds (43%), amphibians and reptiles (31%), fungi and lichen (28%) and terrestrial mammals (26%). There have also been declines in the distributions of more than half (54%) of our flowering plant species, with species such as Heather and Harebell being enjoyed by far fewer people.

That means farming and farmers have a critical role to play in restoring nature.  By working in harmony with nature, Eves Hill is doing just that – creating a thriving environment, where both plants and animals flourish.

Through their healthy soils, the farm produces nutrient-rich plants and livestock, which in turn are used to feed the local community at their on-site farm shop, offering truly local, nutrient-rich, sustainable produce.

Beyond farming, Eves Hill Farm also serves as a beautiful community space with opportunity for school visits, camping, glamping and hosting fantastic local events and markets.

I believe the farm is the perfect place for those seeking to reconnect with nature and support sustainable, local farming practices.
