Lord & Hunt — Regenerative Farmers and Agricultural Contractors.
Presently farming over 1600 acres of owned, tenanted and contracted Essex farmland, our farming business is focused on achieving optimal output whilst maintaining the long term sustainability of the land we farm.
Based near Clacton-on-Sea on the Tendring Peninsula, our family business is managed by four family members: Cousins Roger Lord and Tim Hunt, and their sons David Lord and Guy Hunt, plus a full time skilled machine operator called Tim.
A move towards regenerative farming in 2014 has maintained yields whilst reducing fixed costs, improving soil health and benefiting wildlife on our farms. This ties in well with societies desire for increased sustainability and public money being directed towards that objective.
Our regenerative farming journey continues… every year shows us new challenges and more opportunities to learn, but farming with nature is rewarding in many different ways – not just financially!
Our modern and efficient farming system is capable of handling all soil types and associated combinable cropping; with spare capacity for extra work should an opportunity present itself.
