About Boxford (Suffolk) Farms
Boxford Farms grows top, stone and soft fruit, including apples, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, asparagus and rhubarb, on sites in the Dedham Vale and Stour Valley on the Suffolk and Essex border. Growing methods include glasshouse and polytunnel cropping, hail nets and rain covers. The farm runs an on-farm anaerobic digestion plant and biomass boilers, and dries applewood for sale as logs.
Its customers are buyers of fresh British fruit, and the business earns revenue from selling this produce. The Boxford group also includes Peake Fruit, which stores, packs and markets the group's own fruit, and the Stoke by Nayland Resort, Golf & Spa.
The farm was established in 1938 and is run as a family business in its third generation. The registered company, Boxford (Suffolk) Farms Limited, was incorporated in 1993 and is headquartered in Colchester. The group's businesses employ up to 450 staff in total. The farm was named Top Fruit Grower of the Year at the 2015 UK Grower Awards, and it recruits for permanent, fixed-term and seasonal farm roles.
Product: Fresh top, stone and soft fruit, asparagus and rhubarb grown on farm sites in Suffolk and Essex
