Our Farms

With twenty farms spread across 3,500 acres of Kent countryside, Mansfields are able to mitigate the challenge of the much loved British climate. With farms extending from Rainham to Canterbury, diversity of location allows our fruit to be planted according to ideal environment, ensuring the right growing conditions for all our varieties.
 
Every farm has its own unique setting, a deciding factor in what is planted where; the better suited the soil, the greater natural provisions of nutrients and nurture supplied to our crop. Practicing Precision Farming, we strive to understand our farms and our soil in order to tailor planting and fertilisation accordingly. Alongside this, the technology of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows us to match seed and soil to ensure the best beginning for all our fruit. Equally the use of Irrigation Monitoring allows another layer of support for our produce, tracking development through soil and water fluctuations, all towards nurturing a first class yield.  
 
A choice of locations, the know how and top of the range technology enable us, at Mansfields, to grow a complete basket of top produce; from apples to cherries, to strawberries, right here in Englands own back garden.
