On this week’s FAS TV we’re focusing on diversification with a difference. We’re in Morayshire on Thorabella farm with Nikki and Ollie Lake, winners of the Scottish Agriculture Awards Diversified Farm of the Year 2025. This dynamic pair have built up a successful business including buffalo, sheep, wallabies and bees alongside a farm shop, animal walkabout and strawbale holiday cabins.

Later we’re in the Kingdom of Fife, on Solsgirth Home Farm, where Jan Dixon and her family have diversified from dairying to farming in a more relaxed nature friendly way. Solsgirth produces honey, pork, beef and lamb alongside holiday lets, farm tours and a vibrant monthly on farm Farmers’ Market.
