Across the landscape, farmers in the Wool Towns and Stour Valley Farmer Clusters manage almost 20,000 hectares of productive farmland, yielding thousands of tonnes of cereals, vegetables, beef and lamb each year.
Many farms are pioneering regenerative and nature-friendly techniques, improving soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and supporting a landscape that can sustain both farming and wildlife.
