About Dyson Farming
Dyson Farming is the UK's largest farming operation, established in 2013 by Sir James Dyson, the inventor and entrepreneur behind Dyson vacuum cleaners and technology. Spanning 36,000 acres across Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, West Berkshire, Somerset, and Gloucestershire, Dyson Farming represents a revolutionary approach to British agriculture, combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable farming practices. The business has invested over £500 million in transforming how food is grown in the UK. The crown jewel of Dyson Farming is their extraordinary strawberry glasshouse in Carrington, Lincolnshire - a 26-acre high-tech facility housing 1.25 million strawberry plants that produce 1,250 tonnes of strawberries annually. Powered entirely by renewable energy from anaerobic digesters, the glasshouse uses an innovative Hybrid Vertical Growing System that has increased yields by 250% compared to traditional methods. The digesters provide heat, electricity, and CO2 to create perfect growing conditions year-round, making truly sustainable British strawberries available to consumers when imports would otherwise dominate. Beyond strawberries, Dyson Farming produces over 100,000 tonnes of crops annually using regenerative practices that protect soil health and biodiversity. This includes 40,000 tonnes of wheat, 12,000 tonnes of potatoes, 9,000 tonnes of spring barley, and 29,000 tonnes of sugar beet, alongside 2,000 sheep and 800 cattle. The operation was featured on BBC's Rick Stein's Food Stories, highlighting its innovative approach to British food production.
