Beyond the farm gate
Three generations of the Bailye family have built businesses around the farm to spread risk and make the most of what was already here. These are the ones running today.
The habit
Light land near a town has always had to work hard. Over the years the farm has run a haulage company that grew to a dozen artics, a livery yard with over twenty horses, a clay pigeon shooting ground, and one of the most advanced grain handling, storage and drying facilities in the country, built from scratch on a green field site and serving merchants and farmer customers.
Some of those have been sold or wound down as the business moved on. The ones below are live now. Each one started with a real need, and each one was built with the fixed costs kept down.
The enterprises
If you are a landowner thinking about diversification, or you want to talk about any of the businesses above, use the form.
