Building a network for nature: our sites and coverage

National by nature, local by design

Biofarm is building a national network of sites where nature, farmland and development can grow side by side. From North Yorkshire to South Devon, Norfolk to Herefordshire, our reach stretches across England. 

While our coverage is national, our focus is always local. Each site is carefully chosen and designed in response to its own landscape, community and ecological potential. Always working with the grain of local nature recovery strategies, responding to development demand in the area and shaping habitats that make sense in their place. The result is a portfolio that makes sense at scale, but feels right on the ground.

Our selection criteria

Every Biofarm site is carefully curated and chosen based on a number of key criteria. Each Biofarm habitat must be significant to its setting, so we create meaningful, landscape-scale restoration sites that deliver genuine uplift for nature.

We begin with ecological potential: how the land fits into the Local Nature Recovery Strategy, its baseline condition, and its capacity to support measurable biodiversity uplift. We also look at how it connects to the wider landscape.

Commercial demand matters too. Sites are selected where developer need is clear, so the biodiversity units created are genuinely required. And finally, we look at people. These are 30-year partnerships, so we choose landowners as carefully as we choose land. Shared trust, vision and purpose are essential.

It’s this balance of ecology, economy and partnership that ensures our sites work both in theory and in practice.

What’s happening on the ground

As of 2025, we have 311 hectares dedicated to nature restoration, across 14 sites. With another 13 set to go live by the end of 2026, and many more in the works. 

Our own family farm in the Mendip Hills is a working model of how Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) can be done properly.

At Sleight Farm, restoration work is well underway to shape a mosaic of meadows, scrub, and wetland. It’s early days, but the land is already answering back, which you can read in our dedicated story. It’s proof that when you do BNG well, and give land space, it responds.

Beyond Sleight, we are growing a national footprint. Each site brings its own character and challenges – you can follow our Stories for the latest news and updates. But there’s an underlying principle that ties them all together: restoring land to lasting habitat that serves nature, people, landowners and development alike.

By design and on demand

Rather than creating habitats speculatively and hoping they find a match, we tailor each site to the developments that need them. That means the units we create are always aligned with planning requirements, local priorities and ecological needs.

Each site is managed and monitored by our experts for 30 years, backed by a ring-fenced management and monitoring account that safeguards funds for the full term. For developers, this means obligations met without future surprises. For landowners, it means certainty that the habitats they host will be properly maintained. For local authorities, it means confidence that BNG commitments are being delivered on the ground, not just on paper.

Community and local impact

Community impact is just as important to us at Biofarm as nature recovery. Our ambition is to make sure the benefits are felt locally as well as ecologically.

We’ve pledged to donate 10% of our profit to environmental causes across the country by the end of 2026. On the ground, our projects will provide education and volunteering opportunities, from school visits to hands-on conservation days. We’ll also share annual impact reports to show exactly how funds are being used and what difference is being made, whether that’s wildlife surveys, new community facilities or training for young ecologists. 

These programmes are still in their early stages, but we aim to weave biodiversity into the life of the local areas our sites sit in.

Habitats built to last

Every Biofarm site is designed with longevity in mind. We’re not here to deliver quick fixes or tick boxes. We create places where habitats can take root, wildlife can return and communities can feel the benefit. Not just finding land, but helping it thrive, and keeping it that way.

Let’s create the right habitat, in the right place

Whether you’re a developer, landowner or local authority seeking trusted partners, our sites are designed to fit your world as much as they fit the landscape. Get in touch and let’s see how we can make it work for you, and for nature.
