- For Adam Thompson, establishing native flora on farmland goes beyond the obvious environmental and biodiversity benefits.
The 35-year-old Cambridge farmer and owner of Restore Native tree nursery wants to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible for farmers to plant and grow native trees on land not suited for livestock.

On Farm Story Season 5. Filmed March 2022.
I think all of us with a bit of land would love to set up our own native tree nursery. Adam not only got around to it, but he's turned it into a thriving business and a great community asset. What an inspiration!

Thank you
Love the sentiment throughout this video. I hope you continue to share your vision with more landowners!
Beautiful goal and it looks amazing. Outstanding mahi bro.
Do love some nice thick bush.
Champions of change - well done folks
Excellent story. So good to watch.he younger generation commit themselves to native flora and fauna AND make a good business out of it. .
Good on this guy for doing what he’s doing. I don’t believe the vilification of farmers in recent years is entirely justified. They have tried to paint the entire industry with the same brush. I believe large, industrial factory farms and feed lots like you see in America and other parts of the world need to be stopped as it doesn’t do any good by the animal and the process I don’t believe benefits human health either. What this guy is doing is far from that and I fully support farmers who want to do right by their land and provide a good environment for their animals like this guy does. People have been brain washed into thinking all farming is bad, that is a lie I see primarily soaked up by city folk and people so far removed from rural living that they think their food originates from the supermarket.
Thanks for sharing another great video.
This is great mahi.
Awesome video, love it!
I like that your video shows farmers and townies that is does not have to be about retiring productive land to native. There is so much marginal land and small unusable plots to start on and many of those are within town boundaries and near roads. Even creating small islands of native bush so that native birds can move from one area of native bush to another. I live in an area where the hillsides are covered in gorse while 15 minutes away land that was once farms, orchards and horticulture is being turned into housing. It's madness.
Fabulous
Great Video, well done I am Privileged to be able to comment
I like that you plant trees
I dislike that you exploit cows!
Just revert your whole farm back to bush and stop polluting the air and waterways.
Great idea! Can you tell everyone how you learnt to live without eating any food?
