Who we are
Middle World Farms is a community interest company. We grow food regeneratively, support local food access, and build practical farm-management technology. Our purpose is community benefit: healthier soil, fairer food, and rural enterprises that can last.
Our intended move
We are working towards South Ormsby Estate in the Lincolnshire Wolds as the home of the next operation. That relationship is being developed in good faith. It remains subject to final agreement and contract. Nothing on this page should be read as a completed tenancy, planning consent or estate endorsement of every detail.
The collaborative model
The proposal is not a single farm doing everything. It is a cluster of complementary independent or partnered enterprises sharing a wider farming environment — market garden, livestock, processing and skills — around a common regenerative purpose.
Market garden and Lincoln Food Hub
Middle World Farms’ core focus remains growing and distributing fresh food. We intend to rebuild a chemical-free market garden and continue working with Lincoln Food Hub and local customers when fulfilment capacity returns. New subscriptions are paused during relocation.
Lincolnshire Buff poultry opportunity
We already keep a Lincolnshire Buff flock and see a serious breeding and production enterprise as part of the next chapter, subject to agreed access, animal-health responsibilities and facilities. This is an invitation to talk, not a vacancy with a start date.
Goat and added-value dairy opportunity
A small goat herd and later cheese or ice-cream production are being explored. They are not promised. Any dairy enterprise would need the right operator, hygiene standards, and agreed infrastructure.
Other growers and rural enterprises
We welcome credible complementary proposals from growers, processors and rural businesses. We will not over-promise land, housing or facilities. Serious, practical ideas will be discussed; speculative requests for free land will not.
Who may suit this
Experienced smallholders, livestock keepers, growers, or people with practical agricultural experience and a serious business ambition. We are looking for people who can build something real, not for unpaid labour or unarranged visits.
What this is not
- Not a salaried vacancy with a guaranteed wage.
- Not a free tenancy, house or plot of land.
- Not a guarantee of finance, planning permission or estate facilities.
- Not a completed offer from South Ormsby Estate.
