Regenerative farming is gaining momentum — and for good reason. In a world where agriculture can often feel isolating, new communities are forming around a shared mission: heal the land, make it pay, and build a better future.

In this episode, we join Kitty Grub, a passionate champion of regenerative agriculture, as she takes us to meet her friend Olly Martin, a forward-thinking farmer using creativity and resourcefulness to transform his entire operation.

➡️ Stops on Today’s Tour:
• White Park Cattle — A low-input, high-value herd that connects directly with customers at London farmers markets.
• Compost Corner — Olly’s ingenious zero-cost solution for livestock bedding using natural “under-floor heating.”
• The Water Neutrality Lagoon — A stunning off-grid water system surrounded by ancient woodland, complete with an amphitheatre made from reclaimed spoil.
• Ash & Plumb Collaboration — Meet Dru and Barnaby, wood artists drawing inspiration from ceremonial forms and working with Olly to turn dead wood into beauty.

Olly is proving that a farm can be productive, ecological, and wildly creative. From sharing space and materials with local makers to reducing waste with skins, fleeces, and by-products, he’s turning 200 acres into a thriving, regenerative ecosystem.

🌱 This is farming re-imagined — healthier soil, stronger communities, and a landscape full of life.
