Growing a Sustainable Business: Family Farming and the Future - Season 2

In this episode of KnapChat, Alex is joined by Emma and Meryl from Uncle Henry’s farm shop, butchery, and café - as well as the Lincolnshire Pork Co, the family’s newest venture - to share the story of how a crumbling set of barns grew into one of the county’s most-loved food destinations.

From opening in 2006 to winning national awards for their sausages, Emma and Meryl reflect on two decades of growth, creativity, and family spirit, rooted in farming traditions but always looking ahead.

“We’re now 155% self-sufficient, even powering EV chargers for our customers.”

The conversation explores how Uncle Henry’s combines sustainable farming practices, renewable energy, and local partnerships with a memorable visitor experience that goes far beyond food. With maize mazes, pumpkin patches, school visits, and a celebration of the best Lincolnshire produce, they’ve created a community hub that educates, entertains, and inspires.

Join us for a story of heritage, innovation, and the power of family businesses to shape a sustainable future.
