Farming

 

    • The company owns over 1,250 acres of mixed farmland in the Weald of Kent
    • The majority of this land is rented out to neighbouring farmers
    • The top fruit orchards consist of Bramley, Cox, Russet and Braeburn apples, and conference pears. New varieties recently planted are Reubens and Cameo.
    • Main crops grown on the arable ground are wheat, barley, oil seed rape and winter beans
    • The strawberry sites consist of intensive “table top” systems, under tunnels
    • The grassland is used for cattle and sheep grazing, and hay cropping
    • Grassland next to the River Beult (SSSI) is managed with the aid of a grant via the countryside stewardship scheme. This is done on a low input regime, to help protect the area’s unique clay river valley environment
    • Our farm woodlands are managed and maintained to retain value, and a small scale felling and replanting programme is in operation
