Farmermobil- where mobility meets sustainability
One practical way producers can put regenerative principles into practice is through mobile housing.
As Alex Cherry explains:
“We’d always kept a few ex-battery hens for our own eggs, (nothing tastes better), using a horse box as mobile housing. When we wanted to scale up, we saw Farmermobil’s units at the BFREPA conference in Telford and realised they were designed to make that possible.”
Farmermobil’s modular units are engineered for quick installation and easy relocation, enabling flocks to be moved regularly across pasture, which helps to maintain sward quality and manage nutrient distribution. Integrated feeding, watering, and egg collection systems minimise manual labour while offering flexibility to suit different enterprise sizes.
How mobile units support regeneration
- Mobility & flexibility - Units are towed easily across fields, allowing frequent moves that maintain pasture and welfare.
- Pasture & soil health - Rotation prevents compaction, spreads manure evenly and encourages diverse regrowth.
- Worm burden management - Frequent moves disrupt parasite cycles, reducing reliance on chemical treatments.
- Animal welfare - Fresh ground and new foraging opportunities encourage natural behaviour and healthier birds.
- Integration with mixed farming - Units slot into cattle or sheep rotations, balancing grazing pressure.
- Sustainability & perception - Visible proof of higher welfare and responsible land management, adding market value.
- Efficiency - Built-in features simplify feeding, egg collection, and cleaning, saving labour without cutting standards.
