Food, Farming and Wildlife in the Fens
Waldersey farmland produces great food – wheat, onions, potatoes, sugar beet and many other crops.
We have been growing crops and caring for the environment for over 40 years. In that time we have seen many changes in the nature of farming – and in nature itself. Through innovative practice and by embracing new technology, Waldersey Farms is adapting and growing to become one of the most important agricultural businesses in the country.
OUR LAND
The Fens – a unique and productive landscape
Waldersey Farms are located in the Fens, where a patchwork of waterways are fed by inland rivers as they wend their way to the North Sea 25 miles away. For thousands of years, these rivers have deposited silt particles in the area that, combined with peat and loam soils, produce some of the best farmland in Europe.
OUR CROPS
Wheat, onions and potatoes
These are crops grown the right way – consistently high in quality and taste, using methods which improve the environment, not harm it.
“Here at Waldersey our aim is to grow top quality food and energy crops at scale while working towards net zero carbon emissions. By adopting more sustainable farming practices, using state of the art technology, and investing in renewables we are carefully balancing food production with protecting our environment”
Chippers are potatoes that make the best quality chips. Ideal for restaurants, caterers and retailers, as well as the general public who want to enjoy amazing tasting chips in the comfort of their own home.
