At Wiggly Wigglers, we’re excited to share our passion for regenerative farming with you. Our commitment to sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the core of what we do here at Lower Blakemere. Let’s dive into the five principles that guide our regenerative practices and how they contribute to a healthier planet.

1. Minimise Soil Disturbance
Healthy soil is the foundation of productive farming, and we’re dedicated to preserving it. By reducing tillage, we maintain the natural structure and vitality of our soil. This practice helps to prevent erosion and supports the intricate ecosystem of microbes and organic matter that make our soil rich and fertile.

2. Keep Soil Covered
Our approach to soil conservation includes the strategic use of cover crops and organic mulches. These methods shield the soil from harsh weather conditions, reducing erosion and moisture loss. This layer of protection not only keeps the soil in top condition but also fosters a thriving environment for beneficial organisms.

3. Embrace Biodiversity
Diversity isn’t just for wildlife—it’s essential for a resilient farming system. By growing a wide variety of plants, we enhance our farm’s ecosystem resilience. This variety supports a range of wildlife and contributes to a balanced environment where plants and animals can thrive together.

4. Maintain Living Roots
Year-round plant growth is crucial for maintaining soil health. By keeping plants in the ground throughout the seasons, we improve soil structure and promote effective nutrient cycling. This continuous cover ensures that our soil remains productive and well-nourished.

5. Integrate Livestock
Livestock plays a vital role in our regenerative approach. Managed grazing practices help with nutrient recycling and boost soil fertility. By integrating livestock into our farming system, we enhance the natural processes that contribute to a thriving agricultural environment.

Our dedication to these regenerative principles ensures that every aspect of our farming is aligned with our goal of promoting biodiversity and supporting wildlife. At Wiggly Wigglers, we believe that what’s good for the earth is good for the birds—and for you. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards a more sustainable future!
