Farm business profiles

One record per farm company, joining Companies House filings to Defra subsidy payments, Environment Agency permits and — where the business has a shop — its food hygiene listing.

Each of these sources is public on its own, and several are already mirrored elsewhere. What is not published anywhere as a single view is the join: this company, these payments, these permits, this farm shop, with the match confidence stated on every link.

We hold Companies House records for 35,263 agricultural companies in total. Only the 3,459 with corroborating facts from a second source are offered to search engines — the rest exist as records but carry a noindex tag, because a page that only repeats one register is not worth anyone finding.

Largest recorded subsidy recipients

Corporate recipients only, across the two financial years Defra currently publishes. Not a lifetime total, and not a ranking of farm size.
