Innovation, Sustainability & Rural Enterprise

At Charlesfield Farms, we are committed to innovation, sustainability, and supporting the local economy. Located in the heart of the Scottish Borders, our estate has evolved from a traditional farm into a diverse and dynamic business hub, embracing agriculture, renewable energy, and enterprise development.

We believe in maximising the potential of the land and resources available, ensuring that Charlesfield remains a thriving, forward-thinking estate while staying true to its rural roots. By balancing heritage with innovation, we have created an estate that is not only economically sustainable but also contributes to the wider Scottish Borders community.

A Vision for the Future

At Charlesfield, we recognise that rural businesses must adapt to meet the challenges of a changing economy, climate, and land use policies. Our diversification strategy has enabled us to move beyond traditional farming, expanding into renewable energy, commercial enterprise, and agricultural innovation.

Our estate now provides:

• A thriving industrial estate – Home to over 70 businesses, creating jobs and supporting the local economy.
• Renewable energy solutions – Including an anaerobic digestion plant [link]that generates green energy.
• Regenerative agriculture – Improving soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable land use.
• Viticulture – Exploring the potential of ‘Borders Bubbly’ ® our homegrown Scottish sparkling wine.

Through collaboration, investment, and sustainability, Charlesfield is continually evolving to support the future of rural enterprise in Scotland.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Charlesfield Farm. We are committed to protecting the environment, reducing our carbon footprint, and promoting responsible land use. Our initiatives include:

• Biodiversity & Habitat Protection – We maintain woodland corridors, hedgerows, and wildflower meadows to support local wildlife.
• Regenerative Farming – Improving soil fertility, water retention, and crop resilience through sustainable practices.
• Viticulture & Diversification – Experimenting with new land uses, such as vineyard production for Borders Bubbly.
