After many years of choosing not to attend, I’ve finally decided to make the trip to Groundswell this year. I have to say this is in the main down to Carol saying she was going this year weather I came with her or not! So Carol and I will be heading down the day before and staying nearby for two nights to make the most of the event.
Groundswell is one of the leading events for regenerative farming, bringing together farmers, researchers, and industry experts to share knowledge and innovation. This year, Gabe Brown is the main guest speaker, which is something we’re particularly looking forward to. Gabe, along with John Gregson from Regenified, actually visited Brow Farm recently for a brief chat. They couldn’t stay long, but we’re planning to meet up again at Groundswell to continue the discussion.
We’re looking forward to connecting with like-minded farmers, exploring new ideas, and seeing how others are also making regenerative practices work on their farms.
What is Groundswell?
