Want to connect with fellow PHers who own a farm.

Business idea I would like to explore (not car related) around the farming space and could do with some insight.

We have 50 acres and 40 stables, we're just a livery yard, don't grow anything.

Not getting into growing weed, been asked a lot of times!

Thanks for replying.

Interested in those supplying supermarkets, guess that’s not you?

Might be able to answer your questions but I think very few will supply to supermarkets directly unless specialist such as soft fruit or certain vegetables.

For many things individual farmers produce on contract or free market & sell to organisations who have the supermarket contracts (& will have the packing/processing facilities)
They will all have to comply with supermarket demands/compliance to certain schemes & farm audits though
