About Dyson Farming

At Dyson Farming we’re driven by innovative farming and great ideas. For us, it’s all about building a diverse business with strong long-term goals.

Everyone is familiar with Sir James Dyson. He’s celebrated for approaching things from new angles and coming up with innovative, progressive technology. But what few people know is that he has an inherent passion for farming. Born and raised in rural Norfolk, Sir James spent his formative years discovering and working with his local farming community.

As a rapidly growing business, we recognise the contribution of each and every member of our team in the successful operation of all our activities. We pride ourselves on being a local employer of choice, and it’s no exaggeration to say that our employees are like family to us. We recognise and appreciate the effort made by every single member of staff.
