Finalist Spotlight 2025: Most Promising Enterprise - Byres Farm

BYRES FARM: BRINGING FARMING, FUN, AND COMMUNITY TO MORAY

Byres Farm, located just outside Fochabers, has been announced as a finalist for the Most Promising Enterprise Award at this year’s Moray Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

Nestled on the banks of the River Spey, Byres Farm offers visitors the chance to experience the magic of a real working farm in a safe and welcoming environment. The facility provides children and the public with an authentic glimpse into the workings of a busy farm, combining education with recreation. More than just a visit, Byres Farm is a beautiful on-farm venue where visitors can connect with the land, learn about food production, and immerse themselves in Scottish farming traditions.

Byres Farm champions education through experience, sharing the journey of food from field to fork while providing quality family time and fun for all ages. Activities cater to everyone, from curious children to inquisitive adults.

The farm offers day tickets, weekly preschool groups, seasonal events, farm tours, group outings, and tailored corporate and travel trade packages. Visitors can also enjoy farm walks and a quirky self-service coffee shop.

Byres Farm is more than a place - it’s an experience that bridges the gap between farming and the wider community. Whether for families seeking adventure, learners, nature enthusiasts, or businesses seeking private spaces, Byres Farm extends a warm welcome to all.

Their Farmers Markets support over 20 local businesses per event, while free charity pitches and donations ensure the business gives back to the community. Educational experiences help visitors understand farming, food production, and life on a working farm.

Operating with a small, flexible team, Byres Farm also provides opportunities for young people to gain experience in agritourism and events. Looking ahead to 2026, they plan to expand private bookings, enhance play areas for older children, and continue growing their travel trade and educational offerings, all while staying true to their mission of inspiring, educating, and entertaining visitors across Moray.
