Farming

Gavin, a new Herdwick ram, is fathering the next generation of sheep that will help farmer Dan protect rare wildlife on the Great Orme in North Wales.

We’ve launched an ambitious plan to nurse the natural environment back to health and reverse the alarming decline in wildlife. Our strategy for the next decade will also see us invest in looking after the nation’s heritage.

Meet the sheep working hard to look after nature at the places we care for. Great Orme Farm in North Wales which is now up for rent for £1 a year comes with a new flock of sheep to help save its rare wildlife from extinction.

We rely on hundreds of farm tenants to manage our land in ways that support our environmental and conservation aims. Find out the best way to apply for a farm tenancy.

We love sustainably produced, local and seasonal food because it's better for the special places we look after, better for the environment and tastes better too. Read about our views on food and farming.

Dame Helen Ghosh, our Director-General outlines proposals to support the farming community and confirms the National Trust's commitment to farming, landscapes and nature.

We've teamed up with over 50 other nature organisations to produce the latest State of Nature report which reveals that over half of UK species have declined over recent decades.

Pick up fresh, tasty local produce from one of our farm shops, run independently by our tenant farmers.

Many of our farms will supply fresh meat boxes, for those times when you want something a little special for dinner.
