Working with us
Our unique partnership model means we do not own any land. Instead, we carefully select like-minded landowner partners to work with us in pursuit of truly sustainable livestock farming.
We are experienced in building relationships on trust and partnering with landowners to ensure that together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.
Our sound financial base means we are a dependable partner that continues to invest in livestock and machinery, delivering the best results environmentally and economically. A key area of investment is in data collection and management. This means that we have detailed electronic records for every single animal under our management, allowing us to make informed and commercial data led decisions to continue to improve flock and herd health, efficiency and prolificacy.
Our share farming offering encompasses not just the farming, but also the record keeping and management reporting of finances. Having a Chartered Accountant in our ranks means we are able to deliver an attractive and unique service to our landowner partners, with true piece of mind over the integrity and accuracy of the underlying share farming accounts.
We are always delighted to hear from landowners and prospective partners. If you would like to hear more about working with us, please get in touch using our contact page.
