MEET THE FARMERS

George and James Fleming

From our farm in Perthshire we have been providing Bartlett's with potatoes for 13 years and take pride in providing the company with 4 different varieties, Rooster, Osprey, Vivaldi and Estima.

However, potato growing is not our only farming activity, we also grow a combination of spring barley for malting, winter wheat for livestock feeding, oil seed rape for vegetable oil production, grass, carrots, vining peas and finally we rear cattle too.

We have a deep interest in conserving and maintaining the environment in our area. For this reason that we are part of several environmental programmes: Countryside Premium Scheme, Royal Stewardship Scheme and FWAG. These schemes have techniques that allow us to construct and maintain hedges, conservation ponds, beetle banks and buffer zones.

We are also fortunate to have a salmon fishing beat, which gives fishing enthusiasts the opportunity to experience this unique and tranquil activity in an enhanced and protected environment.
