Why We Chose Vertical Farming for Manchester's Future
Traditional strawberry farming in the UK faces weather unpredictability and space constraints. We built our Manchester operation on vertical growing towers because they deliver year-round harvest, use 95% less water, and let us grow fresh berries steps from our customers.
From 1 Tower to 28 How We Built Dillon's Strawberry Farm. NEXT STAGE Sponsor a Tower.
When we started, we had one vertical grow tower and a vision. Today, Dillon's Strawberry Farm Manchester operates 28 towers and continues to expand. Here's how we got here. Started of with our back garden and 1 polly tunnel and 1 tower & now we have 28. Next stage: Sponsor a Tower enables us to grow faster without debt or having to borrow to fund our dream.
