Alexander and Andrew Bayne

As well as our potatoes, the Baynes grow carrots, swedes, spring barley for malting and winter wheat for livestock feeding, and also rear cattle and sheep. Being farmers, they depend on soils and the environment for their crops, and are committed to caring for them in the best way possible. To help them in achieving this they are part of The Rural Stewardship Scheme. This has allowed them to plant and maintain hedges, as well as creating water course buffer zones. Alexander and Andrew are also part of ‘Operation Bumblebee’ which is helping to increase the population of the insect.
