Revesby Farms Potato Tubers

The Estate farms 1220 hectares of land in hand. This goes under the name of Revesby Farms and is managed closely between the Wiggins-Davies family and Farm Manager Chris Baylis.

Potato tubers were first brought into the country back in 1586 by Sir Walter Raleigh, a distant relative of Estate owners. The farm produces in excess of 3500 tonnes of pre-packed potatoes annually, which are now grown in a joint venture with a major retailer. This venture has allowed;

• Both the grower and retailer to share the risk and reward of the crop
• Increased the understanding of the growing and marketing of the crop for both parties
• Enabled a more efficient enterprise based on a close relationship between grower and retailer.
