Farming by Observation: Life below the surface at Lomas Farm in the High Weald

In this episode, I visit regenerative beef farmer David Cornforth at Lomas Farm in Sandhurst, Kent, within the High Weald National Landscape, to talk soil, stockpiling and why he stopped chasing scale. After stepping away from the “expand or get out” model, David rebuilt his system around rotational grazing, longer rest periods and careful observation — focusing on soil biology rather than costly inputs. We discuss mob grazing, fungal-to-bacterial ratios, reducing winter housing, and the influence of soil microbiologist Elaine Ingham after hearing her speak at the Oxford Real Farming Conference. A grounded conversation about farming with nature.
