We have been supplying Bartlett’s with 3 different
varieties of potato on our farm in Perthshire for
over 15 years.As well as growing potatoes we
cultivate winter wheat for feeding livestock,
spring barley for malting, kale, as well as rearing
cattle and lambs.
The responsibility of being a farmer earns the
duty of looking after the surrounding environment
and its soils. For this reason we have created a
conservation pond, conservation headlands and
we also manage young tree plantations to
encourage nesting birds. Outside of farming I am
a life member of Blairgowrie Golf Club and enjoy
all aspects of the sport. I also enjoy working with
horses and have even managed to breed a couple
of good racehorses. During the 2nd World War
I was a pilot and got a mention in the local
newspaper for distinguished services.
