Meet the farmers

David and Peter Allan

From our farm in the Scottish Borders we have been supplying Albert Bartlett for 5 years. We grow a number of varieties including Maris Piper, Osprey, Harmony and the famous Rooster potato.

Other crops grown on our farm include Spring Beans, Winter Wheat, Spring Barley, Oilseed rape and in the past Asparagus.

As a modern agricultural business we are constantly striving to reduce our environmental impact. To achieve this we have reserved small woodland areas throughout the farm and are constantly monitoring and protecting wetlands all to encourage and protect local wildlife. We also continue to carefully manage our water supply, we have seen a 50% reduction in water used for potatoes through the use of irrigation tape. This in turn reduces the amount of diesel needed to pump the water across our fields and therefore reduces CO2 emissions. Back to Farmers
