Open Farm Sunday: Hall Hunter
Our cameras will be lurking behind the beautiful berry bushes of the Hall Hunter Partnership when they open their doors as part of the 2019 Open Farm Sunday project.
Our work with the innovative company follows the publication of a series of videos (see below) in various different languages highlighting what it’s like to work with the business, which supplies berries to most of the UK’s leading supermarkets.
Hall Hunter Partnership was started by Mark and Mary Hall, in 1966 and continues to grow, in every sense of the word.
These days the business is run by their son Harry who has continued the tradition of driving the business to be ever better. He and his family live at Tuesley Farm, the largest farm that the company owns.
The business covers seven sites: from Berkshire to Surrey to Sussex, and in 2016, the business ventured overseas to start a farm in Portugal. Their approach combines decades of experience, expertise and passion with modern, innovative techniques. They strongly believe in supporting the communities where their businesses are based, often working closely with local schools and also take part in Open Farm Sunday each year
Hundreds of farms all over the UK will open their gates for LEAF Open Farm Sunday 2019. As the farming industry’s annual open day, it offers a fantastic chance for people to discover real farming at first hand and see for themselves how their food (and much more besides) is produced. It is also a great way for farmers to shine a light on what they deliver and why supporting British farming matters. Over 5000 people attended the event at Hall Hunter’s Tuesday Farm near Godalming Surrey in 2018 and the farm will be the location for the 2019 open day.
Watch out for our video reports highlighting the event.
