Meet the farmers

Jim and David Fairlie

From our farm in North East Angus we have been supplying Bartlett's with potatoes for over 23 years. We grow 6 different varieties for the company which include Saxon, Osprey, Maris Piper, Harmony, Cara (seed potatoes) and Rooster.

As well as potatoes we grow a substantial amount of wheat for livestock feeding, spring barley for malting, oilseed rape for vegetable oil production, spring oats for porridge and we rear cattle too.

As farmers we are keen to encourage different varieties of wildlife to our area. It is for that reason we have utilised areas of wetland as habitats for ducks as well as more uncommon birds.

Additionally some of our farmland lies on a historical site and under guidance from Historical Scotland, cultivations on those areas are restricted in order to conserve the historic features below. Back to Farmers
