G Charlton & Sons is a fourth generation, family owned farming business headed up by Sean Charlton, great grandson of the founder, George Charlton.

Sean and his family specialise in growing both top fruit and soft fruit, in particular strawberries, apples and cherries.

The Kent based business operates across nine sites located within a five mile radius of Langley, Maidstone. With over 110 acres of land solely dedicated to growing strawberries the family produce an impressive haul of around 2000 tons of the fruit per annum.

Currently Sean and his family are growing varieties which include Ischia, Linosa, Red glory and Premier.

Prioritising the environment

Prioritising the environment is a key focus for Sean, and his family are always looking for innovative techniques to minimise their impact on the environment.

Producing strawberries using a soil-less system under re-locatable tunnels (also known as Spanish tunnels) offers better disease control than more conventional methods and enables Sean to almost eliminate the use of pesticides.

The use of Spanish tunnels also helps to protect the crop from the unseasonable British weather, and not only ensures a better quality product but a continuous supply of British strawberries for our customers.

G Charlton & Sons also supplies Reynolds Suppliers of fruit, vegetables & produce
