It all starts in the soil.
The ground beneath our feet is more than just dirt - it’s our best defence against climate change and the secret to truly healthy food.
At Gentle Farming, we’re bringing soils back to life. By farming in harmony with nature, we’re cooling the planet, inviting nature back to the fields, and growing a healthier future for everyone.
Healthy soil. Healthy food. Healthy life.
Three Generations.
Farming With Nature.
We’ve been farming for generations, today we farm 800 hectares in the East of England in the heart of the fens. Our journey to Gentle Farming began in 2008 when we realised the old ways were no longer working for the soil or our business. Today we farm 800 hectares in the East of England in the heart of the fens.
It started with a grandfather - Tony Gent - who builds and invents unique machinery to farm in partnership with nature. It continued with a father - Edward Gent - who had the courage to tear up the rule book of conventional thinking to farm in harmony with nature. Today the son - Thomas Gent - taking the lessons of his family to build a farming business of the future.
We have traded intensive agriculture for Gentle Farming, we produce healthy, low-carbon foods while investing and partnering with the next generation of innovators to transform the food system and bring nature back to our landscapes.
How We Make an Impact
We run a circular farming business where each part of the farm supports the rest. We don't just farm; we innovate. By pairing regenerative land management with a spirit of entrepreneurship, we produce healthy, low-carbon food and build a next-generation business rooted in the soil.
