Our ApproachAbout
At High Ground we support farmers on their journey toward soil and landscape health. We believe that healthy soils are the foundation of productive, resilient land — and that lasting change comes through knowledge, practice, and genuine partnership.
Led by Jack Newman-Morris, High Ground Soils brings a rigorous, science-grounded approach to the practical realities of farming in complex systems.

What We Offer
Direct one-to-one coaching for farmers and land managers ready to deepen their understanding of soil biology and ecosystem function. Drawing on the frameworks of the Soil Food Web School and Integrity Soils’ CREATE program, Jack works alongside you to assess where your soils are now, identify what’s possible, and build a practical path forward — tailored to your landscape, your operation, and your goals.
Designing, delivering and facilitating workshops for small to large groups — exploring agroecological systems and the practical steps toward more resilient, ecologically-minded land management. Sessions are tailored to the audience, whether that’s a farmer group, a community organisation, or a council-led program, and are grounded in the belief that knowledge shared collectively leads to change that lasts. Get in touch to discuss upcoming sessions or to arrange a workshop for your group.
Working with landholders to think beyond individual practices and toward whole-systems change. Through an agroecological lens, we explore how water, biology, landscape, and management interact — and how shifting those relationships can restore function, diversity, and long-term productivity to your land. Every property is different; every approach is built around what’s already there.
