Lisa Hogan launches platform to help farmers diversify income

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 13:02 · Archive

Lisa Hogan and her son Wolfe Bentinck have launched Only Farmers, a platform connecting farms with the public for countryside experiences and farm stays.

Lisa Hogan and her son Wolfe Bentinck have launched Only Farmers, a platform designed to help farmers unlock new income streams by connecting farms directly with members of the public seeking countryside experiences, farm stays and events.

The venture was inspired by conversations Hogan had while working at Diddly Squat Farm Shop, where she met farmers offering everything from vineyard tours and workshops to lambing days and accommodation, but struggling to attract visitors. Only Farmers was created to bridge that gap by providing a dedicated platform where farms can showcase their activities and connect directly with customers.

The platform also allows farmers to buy, sell and rent equipment and services through a farmer-focused marketplace. According to the company's website, more than 1,000 farms have already joined. Hogan and Bentinck are cover stars of a special diversification edition of Farmers Guardian, in which they discuss ideas for helping rural businesses become more resilient and less reliant on traditional farming income.
