Huge congrats to Barfoots on incredible 50 years, and 30 years as LEAF Members.
In 1998, Victor Barfoot & our late CEO Caroline Drummond planted an oak sapling at Abshot Farm. Today it still stands tall - just like their status as a LEAF Regenerative Beacon!

A special moment for LEAF last week as we planted an oak tree in memory of our first Chairman, David Richardson OBE.

Together with Caroline Drummond, he helped shape a vision for farming that has inspired positive change for more than 35 years.

His legacy continues to grow. 💚

Did you know bumblebees struggle to fly at 28°C?
When temperature rises, drought leaves pollinators short on food & water, threatening biodiversity.
Here's how to help:
- Plant late-flowering bloomers
- Add a water feature for moister nectar
- Create shaded patches for shelter

At Groundswell this year, we were privileged to host growers from the M&S Plan A: Farming for the Future programme alongside LEAF Marque farmers to share what’s working on their farms such as soil diagnostics, composting trials, etc.
