A farming client was seeking to diversify their existing agricultural business in response to rising costs, shifting subsidies, and economic uncertainty within the farming sector.

The client owned a series of underutilised barn and farm buildings and wished to convert one into a retail-led space that:

• Generates additional revenue streams

• Showcases locally sourced and farm-produced goods

• Supports the wider farming and rural community

• Preserves the agricultural integrity and heritage of the site

• Creates a destination that strengthens direct relationships with customers

The ambition was not simply to create a farm environment, but to establish a resilient, future-facing model that added long-term value to the farm’s portfolio.
