Farming
"I run our farming operation in East Anglia along with our Agronomist, Bruce Coulson. Selecting land, choosing seed varieties, walking the crops and choosing optimum times for irrigation, spraying and harvesting are all interesting facets of the job. There are new challenges every year and our customers around the World certainly value our regular first-hand crop updates."

Farming
We have our own farming operations in East Anglia and Lancashire which operate under the Richmond Farms banner.
Currently we are growing 340 acres of root crops in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire.
Having our own farming operations in the North West and South East keeps us tuned in to the seasonal vagaries of vegetable growing in two of the main production areas of the country. It also gives us first-hand knowledge of growing costs which affords us the ability to negotiate with our customers and growers from a position of experience.
