Sheila Cooke • Feb 08, 2024

The Nest is an incubator for new entrant, start-up, scaling or transitioning regenerative and agroecologically informed farmers, growers and landstewards. Farmer's Footprint UK recognises the need for quality storytelling, content development, marketing and branding to ensure viable and regenerative businesses, and are offering their services for no cost as part of this programme.

We will be offering bespoke packages for participants depending on their needs. This may include high quality video and photographic content development, social media and storytelling strategy with distribution on Farmer’s Footprint social channels, branding development, and e-commerce website development including back end software set up if desired. 


This is a pilot project, with a view to sustain the offer as a long-term rolling programme, ensuring the amplification and elevation of farmers’ stories to increase revenue and regenerative potential. We hope the programme will have a tangible impact on your business or project.
