Kelsey Farms LLP

Farming for five generations

Kelseys Raspberry

We are a well established, family run business specialising in the commercial growing and packing of soft fruit..

We aim to produce high quality, high value crops for the standard and premium ranges of our customers.

Although we farm in an intensive manner, we take great pride in the planting of trees, hedges, pollen and

nectar rich flower mixes and winter bird food mixes. These plantings help provide extra habitat for wildlife and enhance the wider environment.

Our raspberries are grown in pots containing coir (processed coconut husk). Strawberries are grown in grow
bags also containing coir which are raised up on gutters known as table tops. Once the growing cycles are completed all our growing media is collected from the fields and reused as a soil conditioner. The pots and tunnel poly are also recycled.

​Any fruit which is not good enough to retail is sent away to be processed into puree so there is no waste. All our cardboard and plastic waste is recycled. Our punnets are made from recycled PET - which is itself recyclable. Our tunnel covers are used for 5-6 years and then recycled into other items. We consider recyclability whenever we purchase anything.

​Farming in a sensitive manner is important to us and for that reason we are members of LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) www.leaf.eco
