Fieldstone Regenerative Farm will operate a 120-acre mixed farm using regenerative agriculture practices including cover cropping, rotational grazing, and agroforestry to restore soil health while producing premium food. The applicant practiced regenerative farming on 800 acres in New Zealand, achieving measurable soil carbon increases of 1.2% over 4 years. Investment of £380,000 covers land lease, livestock acquisition, tree planting, farm infrastructure, direct-to-consumer platform, and 8 months of working capital.

Revenue from direct sales (45%), farmers' markets (25%), restaurant supply (20%), and agritourism (10%). Year-one revenue of £420,000. Fieldstone will employ 8 full-time staff. The regenerative model with verified soil carbon measurement and premium direct-to-consumer sales is not practised by any farm within 20 miles.

Eight positions including a farm manager, two stockpersons, two arable workers, a farm shop assistant, an agritourism coordinator, and a soil scientist (part-time). Four seasonal workers for harvest and planting. Annual payroll of £198,000. Fieldstone will host 24 farm open days for 30 visitors each, educating 720 people annually on regenerative agriculture.

Livestock acquisition of £86,000 from UK heritage breed farms. Tree planting of £28,000 through a UK agroforestry nursery (2,400 trees in year one). Fencing, water, and infrastructure of £124,000 from local agricultural suppliers. Fieldstone sequesters an estimated 180 tonnes of CO2 annually through soil carbon increase and tree planting. The farm's direct-sales model eliminates supermarket intermediaries, retaining 85% of retail price versus the 35% typical in conventional farming. Tax contributions estimated at £12,000.
