What opportunities are hiding in the unused corners of your farm? In this week’s Farming Focus™, we return to an episode in which Tim May of Kingsclere Estates and Cornish farmer Dave Oates explore enterprise stacking and Pitch Up! – an enterprise bringing new businesses, people and ideas onto farms. From spare buildings to woodland and hedgerows, hear why looking differently at the assets you already have could create fresh income streams, spread risk and build resilience for the future.
Exploring how farms can create new income and opportunity from the assets they already have, Tim May of Kingsclere Estates and Cornish farmer Dave Oates join Farming Focus™ host Peter Green to discuss enterprise stacking and Pitch Up! From bringing entrepreneurial thinking onto farms to making use of spare buildings, woodland and overlooked corners, they explain why starting small, embracing different ideas and balancing risk could help build more resilient farming businesses for the future.
