In this video, we take a deep dive into the incredible story of Edward Banks and how he’s diversified his farming business. While we help manage his land, Edward has taken things to the next level—converting his farm into a thriving wedding venue and powering his entire estate with a £450,000 straw-burning power plant.
Join us as we tour the stunning wedding venue, explore the beautifully renovated main barn, and witness how Edward's agricultural roots blend seamlessly with modern business innovation. We get an up-close look at his straw power plant and how it works, turning leftover straw from the fields into renewable energy that heats all of his buildings.
From spreading ash on the fields to seeing how old meets new in the farm’s architecture, this video offers a fascinating insight into how Edward has successfully diversified his farm for increased revenue.
