The Lapwing Estate manages nine farms across Nottinghamshire, North Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Spanning over 5,000 acres, The Estate operates at the intersection of agriculture, climate innovation, and rural regeneration.
Our operations include farming with a particular focus on responsible management of lowland peat — some of the UK’s most fertile yet environmentally vulnerable soils. Crafting quality and hearty meals from fresh produce, Browns at the Buttercross showcases the best of british cooking.
Alongside our farming operations, Lapwing leads on cutting-edge renewable energy projects, including solar, wind and our groundbreaking Reverse Coal Pyrolysis facility.
The Lapwing Estate is home to the Pollybell Innovation Centre, fostering new innovative agri-tech ventures, providing a real farm test bed for new technologies such as Earth Rover, which develops robotic, chemical-free weeding systems.
