Cinderhill Farm co-owner Deborah Flint, with Levi and DinoDeborah Flint, who co-owns Cinderhill Farm in Gloucestershire, says price rises at the moment are"absolutely crippling".
The farm, which produces speciality sausage rolls and pastries from its animals on site, is facing soaring energy prices, with annual bills rising from £6,500 to an estimated £78,000. The cost of feeding the animals has also risen sharply, fuelled further by the war in Ukraine which pushed up the price of grain.
"We get people telling us the price of pork has gone down, and yet the price of feed has gone up 43%," she says.Flint says the most important thing to see from the Chancellor today is stability.Quote Message: It feels like things are spiralling out of control, it’s very hard as a business owner to plan. We have not enough knowledge of what’s ahead of us, so I think stability is the big thing for me.
