We have been growing potatoes in Perthshire for
Bartlett’s for over 10 years and provide the
company with 6 different varieties; Saxon, Maris
Piper, Osprey, Charlotte, Maris Peer and of
course their well known Rooster variety.

On top of potatoes we grow spring barley for
malting, winter wheat for livestock feeding,
carrots, swedes, as well as rearing cattle and
sheep.

Being farmers we depend on our soils and
environment for our crops, therefore it is essential that we care for them in the best way.

To help us in achieving this we are part of the
Rural Stewardship Scheme. This has allowed us
to plant and maintain hedges, as well as creating
water course buffer zones.

Additionally we are part of ‘Operation Bumblebee’ which is helping to increase the
population of the insect.
