Enabling Cumbria’s farmers to work together to grow and thrive.
We are bringing together existing farmer groups within Cumbria and farmers interested in forming groups to apply to Defra’s Farmer Collaboration Fund. This fund is expected to open for applications in September 2026.
Are you involved in a Farmer Cluster or interested in forming a group? Please send us your details and we will contact you to discuss next steps.
Our Ambition is to:
Enable you to apply for funding for Cumbrian Farm Clusters and Farmer Groups.
Offer training to existing Clusters and support to those looking to become established.
Create a supportive network of Cumbrian Farmer Groups with a strong unified voice.
Who are we?
New partners are welcome please email us to discuss further
All participating clusters and farmer groups will be members of our farmer advisory panel and eligible to apply for funding as and when it comes available. We also will offer support for new or emerging groups.
