Your invite to the Farm Business Innovation Show 2016

We will be exhibiting and running a workshop at the Farm Business Innovation show.  Brexit has already caused some changes in the food industry and even greater changes will come depending on how the government change farming subsidies.

The weakness of sterling has helped boost grain prices and made imports more expensive so there may be opportunities to grow food and find local markets.

BigBarn exists to help more farmers reconnect with their local consumers and find valuable local customers both retail and wholesale. Please come and talk to us at stand 1430 for more.

Here is information on the show:
