1989 – Geoff and Sybil Phelps started a new venture, under G & S Phelps. They bought a new 18-acre field and started a layer farm to produce eggs for local consumption.
1995 – The business transferred to broiler poultry production.
2014 – We began looking into renewable energy sources to heat our poultry sheds. We eventually chose to install a biomass heating system which was fuelled by woodchip. This then led to us processing the woodchip in-house and selling the fuel to other local farmers.
2015 – After our poultry enterprise expanded, we became Red Tractor assured in 2015.
2016 – A screener was bought to separate the small woodchip from the bulky woodchip. Geoff and his son George also started hand bagging and selling the bales to other local poultry farmers. Cosychip was born.
