Matt and Laura Elliott moved from Bristol to become National Trust tenants at Sandy Hill Farm. Their 'Sandy Hill Mob' (mob-grazed Herefords) and mob-grazed hens produce high-quality produce that they sell direct via a meat box, an egg club and in local shops. They also produce high-value biltong from low-value siverside of beef, which they find is a great advertisement for their business. The GREAT Project is putting Gloucestershire in the vanguard of the transition to regenerative agriculture. ​ GREAT stands for Gloucestershire Regenerative Environment and Agriculture Transition. It’s a three-year project, funded by Thirty Percy, to boost the transition to farming methods that restore the soil, water and air. We want to join the dots between farmers, advisors, growers, mentors and their communities to facilitate this change that is so sorely needed for a resilient future for farms, nature and the earth. ​ We have three core aims: build evidence, facilitate knowledge exchange, and nurture enterprise.
