A blank canvas under the vast Fenland skies
Land available 10 miles south of Peterborough and 30 miles north of Cambridge on the edge of The Fens for enterprises wanting to practice nature friendly farming while building soil health and biodiversity.
The land on offer is Grade-1 Agricultural Fenland which is level and with no stones and has historically been used for annual cropping. The land is currently cropped with GS4 grass (legume and herb rich sward) and has had no inputs over the past 3 years.
The owners are open to ideas for the landand would be pleased to hear from enterprising individuals or teams with energy and ideas. This could include diverse and perennial cropping without pesticide use, and/or high welfare animal husbandry. The owners are also open to hedges and trees being planted to support nature, shade, nutrient cycling and drought resistance. The overall goal is to create opportunities for future generations farming on-site.
The landowners would be keen to support a start-up project and are open to suggestions on how best to offer this.
The site offers plenty of parking, metered mains water with potential space for a tenant to bring own accommodation.
