Following our inaugural edition at the Barbican, Landed 2026 will take place in the Cotswolds at Daylesford Farm, one of the UK’s most iconic regenerative farming estates.

Landed is Founders Forum’s dedicated forum on regenerative agriculture and nature restoration, designed to break silos and accelerate collaboration between entrepreneurs, investors, farmers, corporates, policymakers, and creatives.

Together, we’ll explore how everything comes back to soil - and how businesses, communities, and ecosystems can regenerate from the ground up.

“Exceptional – intimate, relaxed, engaging, and brilliantly curated.”

Fee Drummond

“What a triumph! I’ve never said that about 
a conference before.”

An English graduate from a non-legal background, Sarah worked as a barmaid, legal secretary and note-taking clerk before studying law.  She qualified as a barrister in 2005 and went on to practice in criminal and family law for nearly a decade before leaving on extended maternity leave to have her two young sons. During this time she wrote about her experiences as a barrister in her narrative non-fiction memoir, “In Your Defence: Stories of Life and Law” (2018) which became a Sunday Times Bestseller.

In 2017 she moved to the Suffolk countryside and took on the running of a small farm.  This experience forms part of her second narrative non-fiction book, “Rooted: Stories of Life, Land, and a Farming Revolution” (2022). It seeks to shine a light on the world of farming at a critical point in the future of the countryside.

Sarah has written for Prospect Magazine, The Times, Country Life, The Financial Times, Start the Week, Times Radio and Red Magazine and appeared as a guest on radio and podcasts including BBC’s Woman’s Hour, BBC Radio 3’s ‘Private Passions’ and The Spectator’s ’Table Talk’.
