Dyson’s Giant Robot Farm – How They’re Revolutionising Strawberry Farming in the UK!
When you hear “Dyson,” you probably think vacuum cleaners and air purifiers — not strawberries. But at their high-tech glasshouse in Lincolnshire, Dyson is bringing innovation to farming.
At the heart of their operation are giant rotating wheels — 24 metres long and 5 metres tall — supporting rows of strawberry plants. As the wheels turn, each plant gets optimal sunlight, helping Dyson grow more strawberries in less space.
To keep the plants healthy, robots patrol the glasshouse. UV bots shine light to kill mold, while others release beneficial insects that act as natural pest control. It’s a high-tech way to cut down on chemicals and protect the environment.
When the fruit’s ripe, robotic arms delicately pick each strawberry — no squashing involved. The facility is powered by an anaerobic digester, rainwater collection, and mostly natural sunlight, making it impressively sustainable.
The result? Around 1,250 tonnes of strawberries a year — all thanks to a clever mix of robotics, renewable energy, and a bit of Dyson magic.
