About Us
The Farmer Guardians are a group farming land within the Upper Thames catchment, roughly between Lechlade in the east, Swindon in the south, Tetbury in the west and Charlton Abbots in the north.
​
Our aim: To be a collaborative group of farmers and land managers that delivers integrated socio-economic and environmental benefits in the Upper Thames.
Why join?
By holding events with diverse topics relevant to our members and the unique context of the area, we can help farmers and their businesses to thrive. These events also offer space to discuss ideas and problems you may have with both fellow farmers, and the facilitators.
​
The Farmer Guardians of the Upper Thames is also free to join, with each new member actually bringing more money into the group
