Arguably the lowest cost, highest margin form of diversification, becoming a farm location is certainly an option to have on your radar.
Farm Locations exists to support landowners through their journey to making a success of it.
Since our founder, Jo Thompson, set up Farm Locations in 2015, we’ve been assisting hundreds of landowners to make a go of hosting film and photo shoot crews on their land. From huge feature films to TV ads, high end fashion shoots to music videos, we’ve helped arrange all sorts of productions on UK soil. The range of backdrops in demand for film, TV and photo shoots is wide and varied, and we are here to give landowners the confidence and tools to grasp the opportunity and enjoy the Action!
The FOLD is our curated, closely nurtured collection of up to 250 locations.
If deemed a suitable addition to the Fold, we will become your appointed locations agent and will look after you end to end: from promoting the property and managing enquiries, to securing hires and doing the important admin. You can then focus on the hosting.
By joining the FOLD, you’ll know the detail is done, and you can then have the fun. The collection of locations is kept purposefully small in the FOLD, so the personal service stays true .
This is where you can graze on all sorts of useful resources. The FIELD is an instant-access hub of facts, know-how, stories and advice, all to help feed your learnings into becoming an active film location.
We want to be helping as many landowners as possible to enjoy the benefits of being part of this wonderful world of hosting shoot crews.
That is why we have created The FIELD. It’s a subscription service that is open to everyone, it’s non-selective and gives you the know-how and leg-up on getting started in hosting or growing your own film location income.
We exist to help more landowners than ever in their dreams to host film, TV and photoshoot crews. After all, every farm or rural space is different, and there’s an infinite number of backdrops the creative industry is after.

I’m a farmer’s daughter and farmer’s wife, tasked with helping my own family farm to look at additional ways to bring in an income.
This is how it all started for me. My brother farmed whilst I sought out diversification opportunities. And back in 2015 I secured my first photo shoot through Instagram. One shoot led to another (TV shows, TV commercials, photo shoots) and fast forward to 2024, I’m now helping hundreds of landowners across the UK to enjoy success stories too.
We offer a service that helps farmers, small holders, estate managers, family members of the farm, advisors, and all manner of other rural landowners who are custodians of their own slice of rural Britain.
“Thank you all for your support this year – super exciting times and we thoroughly enjoyed the start of the journey. Love what you are doing towards farming diversification and the impact for the countryside which shouldn’t be under estimated. Great stuff! “
