Hoxton Farms
Combining cell biology and mathematical modelling to make a better kind of fat
About Hoxton Farms
Hoxton Farms, based in London, has been pioneering the field of cultivated fats since 2020. The company specializes in producing real animal fat through a process that begins with stem cells from pigs. These stem cells are the natural precursors to traditional pork fat. Hoxton Farms nurtures these cells outside the animal's body by feeding them a blend of sustainable, plant-based nutrients, allowing them to multiply and mature into fat. This cultivated fat is then used by their clients to enhance the flavor and texture of plant-based meat alternatives.
Read full description
Hoxton Farms primarily serves food manufacturers and companies in the alternative protein market. This market is rapidly growing as consumers seek more sustainable and ethical food options. By providing a key ingredient—real animal fat without the need for animal slaughter—Hoxton Farms helps these companies create products that closely mimic the taste and mouthfeel of traditional meat.
The business model of Hoxton Farms revolves around B2B (business-to-business) transactions. They produce and sell cultivated fat to food manufacturers who integrate it into their own products. Revenue is generated through the sale of these cultivated fats, which are priced based on volume and specific client requirements.
In summary, Hoxton Farms is at the forefront of the cultivated fat industry, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional animal fats. Their innovative approach not only supports the growing market for plant-based meat alternatives but also addresses consumer demand for products that do not compromise on taste and texture.
