Flashback Herefordshire 2023 – you will regret it if you were not with us!
For all those who haven’t been to our last grower meeting : here is a glimpse of what happened in beautiful Herefordshire last year. For all those who came : do you remember?
Farm visits
Our host: Whittern Farms
James Wright, farm manager at Whittern Farm, showed the conference delegates how blackcurrant growing is handled on an LRS affiliated farm. We had the pleasure to see a nice range of machinery from NP Seymour, Pattenden, KRM and more.

Producing, Processing, Selling: Pixley Berries
Pixley Berries grows blackcurrants, but also transforms them into various drinks. We had a visit through the plantations with a display of current farm machinery. But we could also see the processing and packing facility together with a tasting of an amazing product range.
