Regenerating Farms

What Regenerating Farms does

Regenerating Farms is a Melbourne-based regenerative agriculture consultancy operating across regional Victoria, Australia. Founded in 2021, the firm delivers five integrated service lines: planning and consulting (Farm Management Plans, holistic farm and environmental planning); assessments (GIS analysis, soil, land capability, pasture, natural capital/carbon, biodiversity, hydrology, vegetation, and enterprise feasibility); project management and implementation; farm builds and ongoing farm management (market gardens, agroforestry, conservation plantings, dam and waterway design); and education and research (workshops, field days, keynote talks, research collaborations). The underlying methodology is a holistic, whole-systems farm design approach that integrates environmental, economic, and social considerations at property and catchment scales, leveraging GIS-based spatial analysis and established frameworks such as Accounting for Nature and the Habitat Hectare method.

The business operates a professional services, sales-led and community-led go-to-market model, with services quoted on a project-by-project basis and delivered through direct consulting engagements, government contracts, and partner-led workshops. Customers span private landholders, water authorities (Melbourne Water), local government (Mornington Peninsula Shire, City of Bendigo), Landcare networks, and SMB agricultural operations (Ten Minutes by Tractor). Co-founders Thomas Kennett (M.EnvSus, B.Com, 15+ years business/project management) and Nathan Wainwright (B.Sc, Lead Ecologist) lead delivery, supported by a network of specialist ecologists, academics, drone/mapping contractors, and carbon farming partners. The firm holds Certified Vegetation Quality Assessor and Accounting for Nature General Expert credentials, and has no disclosed institutional investors or external funding.

Geographic reach is concentrated in Victoria — specifically the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, and Bendigo regions — with no claimed international footprint. The company is privately held with 1–10 employees and provides no public revenue, ARR, or headcount disclosures.
