British Farming Awards finalist 2025

16 September 2025

We’re proud to share that Johnny Wake DL FRASE ARAgS has been shortlisted for Regenerative Farmer of the Year at this year’s British Farming Awards. This recognition is a testament to Johnny’s dedication to progressive land stewardship and the long-term vision that guides Courteenhall Estate.

Johnny has been a champion of regenerative agriculture across the estate — from enhancing soil health and restoring biodiversity to creating resilient, nature-positive farming systems. His approach blends innovation with deep respect for the landscape, ensuring that Courteenhall continues to thrive for future generations while playing its part in the wider environmental solution.

This shortlist acknowledges not just the work taking place on the ground, but the collaborative effort across our team. We are grateful to colleagues including Alex Coles and Rosie Davis, and to the wider community who support and champion this journey towards sustainable, regenerative farming.

We look forward to celebrating alongside fellow finalists at the British Farming Awards and continuing to inspire positive change within UK agriculture.
