Are you curious to try a different approach to wintering? Do you want to build soil armour, improve animal health and environmental outcomes? Perhaps you’ve seen farmers adopt bale grazing and are wondering if it’s right for your system?

Our new Wintering Innovations Series is a starting point for farmers interested in exploring regenerative wintering practices.

By sharing experiences of other farmers, and the results of trials and latest research, this series aims to equip you with the knowledge, confidence and the motivation to change. Watch the film to hear from other farmers in our network. 

This series starts on 3 June

Over five weeks we will cover context and where to start; key principles; bale grazing; multi-species cropping vs. monoculture cropping; all pasture wintering, and the wide-ranging benefits farmers are seeing from adopting and trialing these practices.

What you’ll get 

  • a weekly email with helpful resources, case studies & considerations

  • direct access to farmers experienced in different approaches to regen wintering

  • access to a private online discussion group with other farmers

  • to attend field days and webinars (field days are location dependent)

  • to see how the financials stack up, through cost analysis and comparison

Thanks to Deane Parker, Clare Buchanan, Mark Anderson, Greg & Lenna Low, Josh Bradfield, Dylan Ditchfield, Ross Mongahan, Duncan Humm, and Jono Frew for sharing their learnings, findings, and expertise.
