“Our goal is to have a diverse mix of businesses operating off the land, using each other’s by-products or waste, and sharing knowledge, equipment and experience.”
– Tim May, Kingsclere Estates and Pitch Up! Founder, in Waitrose Weekend
“There are people and businesses out there who have amazing ideas and don’t have the access to the land and the space that we do… Enabling them to come in and develop or grow their business…it’s a win–win for everybody.”
– Sam Parsons, Balcaskie Estate
“Landowners often want to find someone to run a market garden, or pastured poultry, or on-site butchery, or some other way of keeping the value of what they produce by selling it directly, and bringing a community. Everyone I’ve spoken to who’s done this has said it transformed their life and farm, while giving landless growers a chance to realise their dream. Pitch Up! is such a good idea.”
– Sarah Langford, author of Rooted: How regenerative farming can change the world
“More and more people are wanting to grow or get involved with nutrient-dense food, but the mechanisms of the food system in the UK can make that difficult. Pitch Up! really felt to us like an innovative solution to that problem…”
– Clare Hill, Planton Farm, in Positive News
