Be a GREAT beacon farm
We've begun tripping about the county, interviewing farmers to develop a series of farmer profiles and in-depth case studies. We're calling them our 'beacon farms' as they offer a rich source of learning - espeically those that become involved as mentors.

Offer a farm walk
Come spring-time we'd love our farmers to have the opportunity to show off their hard work. GREAT can fund your time to give a farm walk, advertised via our network.
We want to get the word out in Gloucestershire about GREAT. We'd be very grateful if you would send us your tips about how news is shared in your local area: community newsletters, Facebook pages, noticeboards and local media outlets, for example.
Don't forget,FREE ADVICE is available from the wonderful humans at FWAG SouthWest to support you to take up or expand regenerative farming practices in Gloucestershire.
Get in touch via the website to see if they can help you.
