Introduction to Agri-Tech, 20th May at Agrii's Technology Centre
Would you/your colleagues benefit from understanding more about agriculture and horticulture in the UK? Including relevant policy/regs (and where the money comes from), decision-making by farmers (who calls the shots!), and what happens after the farm?
The farm specialises in producing high end crops such as Peonies, Agapanthus and houseplants for UK Supermarkets, as well as growing strawberries and asparagus for local retailers. It employs cutting edge technology such as a coir sterilisation facility and custom built LEDs to enable it to be the only UK producer of AYR Oriental Lilies and benefits from synergies with other departments within EW Pepper.
Diversification and expansion are core objectives and Bury Lane is seeking to form relationships with other members through trialling crops and products, or investing in brilliant new ideas. EW Pepper has a long history of innovation in agriculture, having played a leading role in the introduction of landrace pigs and the development of UK ornamentals. Recently the Bury Lane team won a Gold Medal and Best House Plant Studio at the 2023 RHS Chelsea Flower Show through its' Geb&Green spin off. Managing Director, Will Clayton, has a passion for both education and technology, and views intra-sector collaboration as essential for the future of UK horticulture and agriculture.
