Current opportunities

Here’s a list of the current priority opportunities on Pitch Up! farms in 2026/27.

Please note: this is a guide, not an exhaustive list – and changes regularly. Each farm has its own priorities listed on its individual page on the Partner farms page.

We also know from experience that the person is as important as the idea.

Good people who are keen to work with the land and available resources in ways that could strengthen and diversify a farm’s economic activity are always encouraged to get in touch – even if your business type isn’t listed here.
