From planting potatoes to producing award winning crisps, Fairfields handles the full process on-sit, including their impressive anaerobic digestion (AD) facility, which turns waste into renewable energy and fertiliser. It’s a brilliant example of circular farming and sustainable growth.
We’re proud to have worked with Fairfields on securing planning for new buildings and agricultural infrastructure – helping their business evolve without the usual planning headaches.
If you're a next gen farmer thinking about expanding your operation whether it’s storage, processing, or renewables, we’d love to help.
