Meatless Farm is a British company that produces
vegan,
plant-based meats which are made primarily from
pea protein. It was founded in 2016 by the Danish entrepreneur, Morten Toft Bech.
The company started production in 2018,[4] and initially sold its products in British supermarkets. In September 2019, Meatless Farm expanded to the United States through a partnership with American supermarket
Whole Foods.[5] In October its burger became the first plant-based burger to be added to the menu of British
pub chain
Wetherspoons.[6]
In September 2020, Meatless Farm secured £24m of funding.[7] The company had previously raised £14m from investors including
Channel 4.[8][9]
On 12 June 2023, Meatless Farm made its entire 50 strong workforce redundant and entered administration.[10][11]
The company was bought out of administration by
VFC Foods[12] in August 2023 and products under the brand name will reappear in
Asda supermarkets.[13]
