SW Land Match was developed in 2023 by Tamar Grow Local CIC and Landworkers’ Alliance as part of Defra’s New Entrant Support Scheme (NESS)
SW Land Match is a desk based service aimed at matching people looking for land to start agroecological farming businesses with landowners and land managers. SW Land Match, which is a not-for-profit pilot project is currently being trialled until March 2025 whilst looking for funding to help continue the scheme.
Originally developed to help support participants on the NESS programme in the south west of England find suitable land following on from taking part in the programme, SW Land Match is now open to all and we especially welcome contact from both private landowners , organisations, charities and local authorities who are able to offer space for farming.
We're pausing SW Landmatch as we grow into Landmatch England which will be launching this Autumn!
If you're already registered with us, we'll still be busy looking for the right match for you and will be in touch soon with information on our new service.
If you'd like to keep up to date with all the Landmatch England news and to be notified when we launch, please click through to our holding page to sign up to our newsletter.
