Along with his family, David has been a valued and reliable supplier for over 10 years, producing fresh, locally grown crops from his site near Norwich. Having farmed salads for over 50 years, David worked as a manager for Tustings in Cringleford for almost twenty years, joining in 1962. After moving on, he decided to take things into his own hands and set up his own smallholding in Felthorpe during the 80s.
However, ten years ago the glass houses were moved, and now, located in Newton St. Faith, David grows his produce less than ten miles from our distribution centre at Manor Nurseries. Using this wealth of experience to oversee both the 2nd and 3rd generations of family in the business, he grows both early and late lettuces including Lolla Rossa, Oakleaf and Cos, as well as celery during early summer months. He also provides our ever-popular local Little Gem lettuces, and with a full acre of glass house at his disposal, he is enabled to do so from March, right through until the end of November.
