Arden Farms is an arable farm based at Owmby-by-Spital, 10 miles north of Lincoln. We grow directly edible foods, such as potatoes, onions and peas, as well as commodity products such as wheat, sugar beet, barley and oil seed rape. Our business has been growing since 1947, developing systems which work in harmony with the wider environment. We plan, cultivate, plant, nurture and harvest with care to produce food that is safe, traceable, desirable and of the highest standard. We also have a farm at Walesby near Market Rasen in the Lincolnshire Wolds, which has some arable land as well as a herd of red deer in the hills and valleys better suited to deer than tractors! |
