Free advice & support. Your farm, your choice.
Our advisory service is free, practical, and completely confidential.
Stockfree farming is an approach to agriculture that does not rely on livestock. Instead, it focuses on growing crops, building soil fertility through plant-based methods, and working with ecological systems to produce food and healthy livelihoods.
It is not a fixed model. It covers everything from market gardening and heritage grain production to agroforestry, habitat restoration, and diversified rural enterprises. The right approach depends entirely on your land, your goals, and what works financially.
We are livestock-free – not animal-free. Wildlife, ecology, and the natural world are central to what stockfree farming makes possible.

UK agriculture is in a period of genuine change. A new National Food Strategy, a Land Use Framework, and the Climate Change Committee’s Seventh Carbon Budget are reshaping how farming will be supported over the coming decades.
Our own research, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, found that 49% of livestock farmers would consider stopping farming animals entirely if financially viable alternatives were accessible.
The alternatives exist. The support exists. Farmers who begin exploring now are best placed to benefit as the policy environment continues to shift.
