Certified Regeneration: Our Standards in Action
At Planton Farm, our certifications are more than badges—they’re a reflection of our values and our promise to you. In this blog, discover what each certification means for our land, our animals, and your food.
1. Why Organic Certification?
At Planton Farm, organic certification is more than a label—it’s a public promise to work with nature, not against it. By choosing organic, we commit to farming without synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or artificial fertilisers. This means our soils, crops, and animals thrive through natural cycles and biological diversity.
Organic certification challenges us to deepen our understanding of soil health, plant resilience, and ecosystem balance. It’s a framework that supports our regenerative goals, pushing us to rely on cover crops, diverse rotations, and grazing animals to build fertility and control pests. For our customers, it’s a guarantee of transparency and trust: our practices are independently verified, and our food is as clean and natural as possible.
By holding ourselves to organic standards, we honour the land and our community—producing nutrient-dense food while actively restoring the environment.
2. Why Pasture for Life?
Our Pasture for Life certification reflects our unwavering commitment to raising animals as nature intended—100% on pasture, never fed grains. This approach supports animal welfare, enhances biodiversity, and produces beef with exceptional flavour and nutrition.
Our cattle graze diverse, living pastures, moving regularly to fresh ground. This not only mimics natural grazing patterns but also builds soil health and sequesters carbon. Pasture for Life certification is your assurance that our livestock are raised with respect, in harmony with the land, and without shortcuts.
For you, this means food that’s better for your health, the animals, and the planet. For us, it’s a way to demonstrate our values in every bite.
3. Why Ecological Outcome Verification?
Regeneration is about results, not just intentions. That’s why we participate in Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV)—a rigorous, science-based system that measures the real impact of our farming on soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem function.
Each year, our land is independently assessed using the EOV framework, tracking changes in plant diversity, soil carbon, water infiltration, and more. This data-driven approach holds us accountable and guides our management decisions, ensuring we’re moving the needle on regeneration.
EOV certification means we don’t just talk about regeneration—we prove it. It’s our way of showing you, transparently, that Planton Farm is making a measurable difference for the land, our community, and future generations.
Forward-Looking:
Our commitment to these certifications is a commitment to the future—of our land, our animals, and our community. By combining rigorous standards with a regenerative mindset, we’re building a food system that is transparent, resilient, and truly nourishing. We’re proud to share this journey with you and look forward to growing together.
