This is the story of how a young man once acquired a small farm, nurtured it, dreamed of its future and made the dream a reality. That future was about family, regeneration, conservation, sustainability and faith; about a single-handed, single-minded mission to restore habitats and landscape to augment farming and nature; to mitigate the effects of climate change; to make a difference in a fast changing world.

“I’ve known Jon Farey for decades, but its only over more recent years that I’ve begun to appreciate the importance of what is quietly happening at Folly Farmyard and how this determined, resilient, devoted man epitomises the idea of nature’s renaissance on a small farm…and why that’s important to farming!”
