On our farm in East Angus we have been
supplying Bartlett’s with potatoes for over 25
years. We grow 5 main varieties for them
including, Saxon, Osprey, Maris Piper, Vivaldi
and Rooster. Aside from potatoes we supply
Bartlett’s with carrots and grow wheat, spring
barley, oil seed rape for various different
productions. We are also involved in rearing
both cattle and black faced sheep.
As well as farming we have a small family hotel
in Glen Clova which is one of the 5 Angus Glens.
Having these businesses has allow us to get
involved with many different environmental
schemes and given us the opportunity to create
ponds, Silver Birch regeneration and use our unharvested
crops to increase the population of
small birds. Additionally the hotel is situated right
next to the South Esk River which is part of the
European Union’s LIFE Project. This project aims
to conserve the population of Atlantic Salmon
and other forms of sea life. Finally Glen Clova
Hotel hosts the annual Forfar Road-Runners half
marathon which Bartlett’s kindly sponsors every
year!
