We recognise that there are many challenges and pressures in particular that farming families face which can have the potential to impact mental wellbeing.
We are partnering with the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, the Farming Community Network and Hereford-based charity, We Are Farming Minds, co-founded by Duchy of Cornwall tenants, Sam and Emily Stables to provide further support for our farming tenants.
We want to make an active difference to the mental health conversation in rural communities and improve mental health outcomes. We aspire to be a leading employer for wellbeing and mental health support.
In 2023, the Mind for the Workplace Wellbeing Index benchmarked the estate and we achieved a Silver Award. This was an incredible achievement at this early stage, which we hope to build on working with Mind and our staff.

Farmer Will Young meets Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds
“We want to make mental health a normal part of the conversation and thought it was really important that our farmers had the opportunity to talk to other farmers. Even if just one individual uses the services, it will have been worth it" - Matthew Morris, Rural Director
