Who we are

The Bigger Picture

At Beyond Fields we don't just see fields. We see you, your family, your business, your aspirations, and your future.  We see the soil, the water, the habitats and species that make up our shared landscape. We see the food that you produce and the communities you can support.

Thriving Farms for the Future

We have an in depth understanding of the elements underpinning life on the farm, (human and non human), that need to work in harmony to deliver food alongside environmental services and a thriving countryside.

  • We help farmers balance profitability with ecological responsibility

  • We are committed to helping farmers navigate challenges, whether that be markets changes, climate challenges or policy changes, we support you beyond just the field level. We work as your guide, an extension of your trusted network.

  • We are farmers who are passionate about growing and rearing healthy food. We are also an ecologist and a conservationist. Our passion is regenerative farming and helping other land managers on their journey.

Ethos

  • Together Chantal and Rachel have over forty years experience of working as farm advisors. We have leant over a lot of gates in that time and learnt the most incredible amount. We are fortunate, we continue to learn on every farm visit and are welcomed back year, after year. Clients soon become friends.

  • Our adaptable approach makes us the ideal advisors to guide you on your endeavours.  We have a broad knowledge base and experience that we offer to you. We aspire to understand all aspects of your business and land to enable us to tailor our advice to each unique setting.

  • As independent advisors with an in depth understanding of regulations, we are able to provide comprehensive and confidential advice to protect your farm business. Professionalism is at the heart of what we do.

  • Our diverse team consists of self employed individuals, all brilliant in their specialist area. This enables us to be highly competitive in our prices and to gather an entirely relevant and specialist team on each individual project.  

Our ethics are rooted in seeing beyond fields—we see people, communities, and the environment thriving together. With balance and integrity, we champion sustainable farming that nurtures both the land and the lives it supports.

We bring balance and enthusiasm to support and enable a future with sustainable, viable farms delivering for their custodians, the environment, and for all the lives those fields support.
