Heck eyes vegan product innovation with vertical-farming move

Heck is linking vertical farming to product innovation UK sausage and vegan food manufacturer Heck has partnered with a vertical farming specialist in a move it suggests could help it to create new flavours for meat-free products. The company has linked up with London-based Vertical Future to install a vertical farm at its headquarters in North Yorkshire in northern England. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically-stacked layers indoors in a controlled environment to optimise plant growth.  Heck co-founder Debbie Keeble said: There are huge benefits to vertical farming. No pesticides or herbicides, less water and food waste, no transport, more efficient production, taste control and better shelf life.

My light bulb moment: Sausage-making pioneer Debbie Keeble

Debbie Keeble, 54, co-founded Heck with her husband, Andrew, in 2013. They live in Yorkshire and have four children, Jamie, 30, Guy, 29, Roddie, 27 and Ellie, 25. Andrew and I come from farming families. We grew up 15 miles apart in North Yorkshire, and met at a pub at 17. I didn t think I d marry him, but I never looked at anyone else after that. Four years later we married. I d always wanted to stay in farming; nothing beats running in the fields to wake you up. I couldn t bear to sit at a desk all day, so I went to agricultural college and we became pig farmers. But the market wasn t doing well. By our 30s, we were on a joint income of only £250 a week, with four kids to support. We had to make a change.
