The Buffalo Farm - Administration

The Buffalo Farm, Scotland’s largest buffalo farm and butchery, entered administration on 11 March.

Launched in 2005, the Fife-based farm also includes a shop, cafe, and buffalo mozzarella business.

Owner Steven Mitchell said that the farm had suffered due to factors including COVID, wars, soaring energy bills, cost-of-living crises and TB. However, due to a loan from a friend, Mr Mitchell was able to safeguard the business, jobs and animals via a pre-pack sale completed on the appointment of joint administrators Chad Griffin and Callum Carmichael of FRP Advisory.

Allica Bank has a registered charge against the company.
