Becoming a Regenerative Farmer - Helping you build your profitable, nature restoring, enjoyable farm.

At Henbant we've been asking a question; is it possible to buy a small farm on a mortgage, to pay the mortgage, to produce really good nutrient dense food for our community and our family, to build soil, to build biodiversity, to build social capitol, bringing a community with us AND to enjoy it. 

Ever dreamed of owning a small farm, that pays it's own way, producing nutrient-rich food for your family and community, building soil health, restoring biodiversity, and having fun at the same time? 

It’s not just a dream—it’s possible!

Henbant, a thriving regenerative farm in North Wales, has over the past twelve years been proving this is possible and now, with the help of Ecosystem Restoration Communities and some of the world's top regenerative farming experts - including Darren Doherty, Mark Shepard, and Ben Faulk - we’re ready to help YOU succeed, too.

Starting in March 2025, our Becoming a Regenerative Farmer training is designed to create the next generation of ecological farmers committed to enjoying growing good, nutrient-dense food while restoring ecosystems, sequestering carbon, and boosting biodiversity.

Why Regenerative Farming?
UK farming is at a turning point. Industrial agriculture is wreaking havoc on our ecosystems - 60% of insects have vanished in the past 20 years. Artificial nitrogen fertilizers are creating dead zones in oceans and contributing 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating climate change.

But there’s a better way.Regenerative farming allows us to grow food in harmony with nature, enhancing biodiversity while ensuring food security - because one cannot exist without the other.

What Can You Expect?​

This immersive, nine-month blended course combines online learning with practical, in-person training. Each week, you’ll engage in live online lessons from 6-8 pm GMT/BST - one hour of expert instruction followed by an hour of Q&A and peer discussions.

And it’s not just virtual!

​You’ll spend three hands-on long weekends at Henbant, working the land, gaining practical skills and a much deeper understanding, and connecting with a like-minded community of future regenerative farmers.

Along the way, you’ll receive guidance from leading farm designers and learn how to create vibrant, thriving ecosystems of your own.

This is more than a course - it’s your chance to build a community, make new friends, and share ideas with others who are just as passionate about farming and the planet as you are.

Is this for you?
