Introducing the Farm Business Innovation Show
)
Now more than ever, farmers and landowners are exploring new ways to generate income alongside their traditional farming practices. With factors such as unpredictable weather conditions dramatically affecting the UK farming industry, the need for flexibility and adaptation is at an all-time high.
The good news is there are many opportunities out there to help you make the most from your land and remain competitive in the market.
What does the Farm Business Innovation Show have to offer?
The Farm Business Innovation Show gives farmers and landowners the opportunity to discover extra revenue streams. Bringing together a large range of suppliers and industry experts, you’ll have a chance to talk to businesses offering everything from accommodation options to innovative ways to sell produce.
This year the show is being co-located with the Land, Leisure and Tourism Show, the UK’s largest event for rural businesses, holiday parks, leisure and attractions. By joining us at the NEC on 6-7 November, you’ll have access to four great shows, designed to help farmers, landowners and business owners to boost their leisure and tourism offerings.
What inspiration will I find at the Farm Business Innovation Show?
At the Farm Business Innovation Show, you'll find ideas and practical tips to help you diversify your land and boost your profits. Here are some examples.
Glamping – short for "glamorous camping," is a style of camping which provides a bit more luxury than your standard tent, such as yurts, cabins, or even treehouses. By capitalising on this trend, farmers can unlock new revenue streams by offering immersive stays amidst their picturesque landscapes.
Vending Machines – whether you’re looking to reduce your costs or attract new customers, adding vending machines to your land could be the perfect way for you to sell your produce. With minimum maintenance costs and no need for staff presence, vending machines are fast becoming an extra income stream for farmers. From eggs and seasonal products, to flavoured milk, vending machines offer unlimited possibilities.
Rentals – Farm properties can cater to a broad tourism demographic, tapping into the market of visitors wanting a taste of farm life. Whether you’d like to rent out a spare room, a converted barn, or a cottage, using rental platforms can help you to bring in steady revenue.
