Andrew Mitchell runs Komit Kompost, with his wife Trish as company secretary, as a diversification to the core farm business of milking 160 dairy cattle.

The aim is to produce products originating from the farm animal that can be delivered with whatever degree of service the customers require.
With the use of farm staff and machinery the materials are made for local delivery to householders, who either garden themselves or employ a gardener, landscapers, builders or anyone with an interest in improving their property.
This year through investment in a concrete floor within existing buildings we are able to now keep production under cover, which is producing a more consistent material.

With a larger trailer that can carry up to six big bags we have been able also to improve delivery efficiency, with the continued option of a small trailer for difficult access. Tractor and loader delivery of either bulk loads or big bags is also possible.
These efficiencies along with increasing orders through word of mouth and a good level of repeat orders from existing customers have enabled us to hold our prices to a minimum.
