What we are building at Fairman Knight & Sons is a new UK industry…
Technically, in its infancy but with a carefully managed CAPEX and commercial viability – we are building a sustainable force in UK Agritech. The knowledge powering it, however, is founded on centuries of evolution, education and innovation and nature.

Explore the latest updates from the farm, notes from our team and board, and dive into the different perspectives as we continue to review and comment on the impact of circular agriculture, low-carbon approaches, and the systems that make sustainable production reliable at scale.
Practical insights.
Fewer buzzwords. More proof.
