Barton Place Farms is a family partnership business, farming approximately 2000 acres of land in West Suffolk, some of which is owned, some rented and some contract farmed. All our land is irrigated.
We strive to grow quality produce in an environmentally friendly way. We are members of quality assurance schemes ACCS, Assured Produce and LEAF and the environmental land stewardship schemes ELS and HLS. We also manage 30 hectares of woodland.
We predominantly grow cereals, mainly wheat for feed and seed production.
We have a substantial vegetable growing operation. We grow approximately 300 acres of potatoes for pre-packing and 200 acres of onions, which are dried and cured on site and graded for use by supermarket packers. Some of our produce may be available to local customers, please ring the office for details.
The business was founded by Sir John Hay in 1960, when he bought Barton Place Farm and Beaumonts Hall Farm. Further land has been added since.
We currently employ 6 full time staff as well as seasonal labour. Harvest work is available from mid July to end of September each year. If interested, please send us an email with your details.
