Summer Gathering

About the event

​

The annual summer gathering is our annual two-day flagship event. It's not to be missed! Learn from a range of inspiring speakers and peers and get out onto the farm. There will also be great local food, a morning yoga session, and time to party!

 

Highlights include:

​

• Keynote talk from Sue Pritchard (Chief Executive - Food, Farming and Countryside Commission)

• A session on diversity with Navaratnam Partheeban OBE (Farm vet and co-founder of the British Veterinary Ethnicity and Diversity Society)

• Practical workshops on leadership in farming, communication and advocacy, project planning, navigating life & business with purpose, assessing soil health using the Soilmentor app, and owl conservation. 

• A screening of Six Inches of Soil plus a reflective Q&A with the films' producer Claire Mackenzie

• A Feast with a Focus starting with an artisan cheese tasting led by food writer Angus Birditt (sponsored by Daylesford Organics)

• A farm and market garden tour and a chance to have a go at dry stone walling

• Visit to another pioneering farm nearby.

​

Our hosts, National Trust tenant farmers Jonty and Mel Brunyee invite you to Conygree Farm, their 180-acre organic, pasture-fed, and regenerative farm and market garden in the Cotswolds. We will gather in their wildflower meadows, giant tipi event space and threshing barn. You are encouraged to stay on site -camping and glamping options are available.

 

All are welcome at our events, we love to see faces old and new. You don't have to have big, bold ideas and we respect that everyone is at a different stage of their sustainable farming and food journey. By having conversations and sharing experiences, we grow together.

​

Tickets cost just £55 and include all your food over the two days.  Camping and glamping passes start at £20.
