Who are The Upper Onny Farmers,
and what do we do..

We’re a group of farmers in South Shropshire working collaboratively to strengthen our farms and care for the land we share. By pooling knowledge, supporting each other, and taking a long-term view of land management, we’re building more resilient farm businesses while improving habitats, soil health and biodiversity across the Upper Onny valley.
 

Our work is rooted in practical action, shared learning and a belief that farming and nature can thrive side by side.

Nature recovery

Improving biodiversity across the valley while keeping farms productive and viable.

Stronger farm businesses

Reducing risk, sharing resources and building confidence in a changing landscape.

Collaborative learning

Farmers sharing knowledge, trialling ideas together and learning from what works , and what doesn’t.

Sustainable land management

Practical approaches to soil, water and habitat that support long-term farm resilience.

The Upper Onny Farmers Group is proud to be supported by The Royal Countryside Fund. Founded by HM King Charles III in 2010, the charity works across the UK to help family farms and rural communities become more resilient through practical support, funding, and opportunities for collaboration. Thanks to their support, we have been able to grow our farmer-led network, deliver practical events and knowledge-sharing opportunities, develop collaborative projects, and provide resources that benefit both farming businesses and the natural landscape of the Upper Onny Valley.


 

“Before the group, we were all figuring things out alone.
Now we’re learning together — and it’s made a real difference to our farms and our land.”
