FARMING
Our journey started with Andy Cato, Wildfarmed co-founder and award-winning mixed arable and livestock farmer. Once a successful Grammy-nominated musician, Andy gave that up after reading about the dire state of modern food production. He then went on to spend over a decade trying to find a restorative and sustainable way of growing food.
Whilst farming in France, Andy was awarded the Chevalier L'Order Merit de Agricole - the equivalent of a knighthood for services to agriculture. Now back on British soil, Andy is on a mission to help other farmers put the restoration of soil health at the centre of all decisions. To that end, we have created and adopted a set of third-party audited Wildfarmed Standards.
You can read all about our FARMING Standards on our dedicated micro-site here.
Here are some examples of our farming methods:
Bi-cropping (Wheat and beans)
Species rich cover crops
integrating livestock
