Respect Farms is developing a farm-integrated approach to cultivated meat production, exploring how cell cultivation might become part of existing agricultural businesses rather than being confined to centralized industrial facilities. In 2026, the company opened a pilot facility in Schipluiden, the Netherlands, providing a practical setting for investigating the technical and economic requirements of its model. Its work raises questions about infrastructure, farmer participation, production scale and the relationship between conventional agriculture and cellular agriculture. Visitors can discuss the pilot facility, the farm-based production concept and what would be required to establish a commercially workable system.
