Wed28Oct 2026 Farm walk, Wexcombe Wednesday 28 October 2026, 2pm to 4pm · Wexcombe Farm, Wexcombe, Marlborough SN8 3SQ Nature recovery
When: Wednesday 28 October 2026, 2pm to 4pm
Where: Wexcombe Farm, Wexcombe, Marlborough SN8 3SQ
Join us for a fascinating farm walk visit led by George Hosier, an expert in regenerative farming.
Wexcombe farm protects and improves healthy soil which helps support nature recovery. Across arable fields, no-till methods keep the soil structure intact and its biology thriving. Hereford-Cross cattle rotate daily between paddocks, grazing on grass and cover-crops. Hens follow the cows across open pasture. This produces animals with high welfare standards and a farming system that works with nature.
