Balmalcolm is a small village in the Kettle parish of Fife, Scotland.

[1] Balmalcolm was the centre of some controversy in the late 1990s when a high level of nitrates were found in the local borehole, which was attributed to the intensive farming of the local area with green vegetables.

[3][4] The Balmalcolm facility is 11,500 square metres (0.0115 km2) and employs 1,000 staff from the local area, however the company have since expanded to the rest of the UK and into mainland Europe.

[5] Farm shop, cafe, and children's play experience Muddy Boots is a popular local attraction in Balmalcolm.

Set on a farm owned by the same family for three generations, the business has its roots in the 1950s but has expanded substantially since then, especially in recent years.
