Regenerative Ingredients for Carbon & Nature Conscious Brands
Farming with Nature.
We grow nutrient-dense, low-carbon crops with three generations of regenerative expertise.
Partner with us to derisk your supply chain and meet your net-zero goals.
Wheat
Our wheat fields are teeming with ground beetles and spiders a primary food source for Skylark chicks.
Oats
By prioritizing soil health at the root level, we produce oats with half the carbon intensity of standard commodity markets, supporting our partners slash their Scope 3 emissions without compromising on quality.
Oil Seed Rape
Notoriously difficult to grow without insecticides. By using companion planting instead of sprays, we ensure that the thousands of bees visiting our yellow fields in spring aren't exposed to harmful neurotoxins.
Fava Beans
Grown entirely without insecticides. This protects the bees that are essential for pollination. By leaving the pests to be managed by natural predators like ladybirds, we maintain a balanced, living canopy.

Proof Of Concept: The Huel Case Study
“I first visited Gentle Farming last year and it was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when farming works with nature rather than against it. Hearing how Thomas' family have been farming regeneratively for nearly two decades was truly inspiring. I’m proud that Huel has now started sourcing Gentle Farming's oats - marking the first step in our broader strategy to shift towards more regenerative sourcing. When compared to conventionally grown oats, this offers a significant reduction in carbon footprint, along with all the broader environmental benefits regenerative practices bring. We’re excited to be partnering with a grower who’s leading the way in restoring both land and food systems."
