Our web page has been designed to give you information about Church Lane, in the hamlet of Chilcote, DE12 8DL Although we are in the North West Leicestershire County Council our postcode is Derbyshire, we do therefore pack our strawberries under the DERBYSHIRE name. We purchase equipment, plants, tunnels and irrigation systems through the group (BPO) and obtain specialist cropping advice, 100% of our yield is sold through BPO, we are regulated by the RPA and monitored annually. The crops we grow; the fruit we supply and the conservation areas and systems we tend are all available to read about on our web site. Manor Farm is set in an idyllic rural area and has some magnificent views and a clean bright freshness that you will find hard to beat. Manor Farm, main Garden Farm Entrance We are a family run business that has seen tremendous growth over the last 15 years. On the 1^st January 2008 we officially became a Limited Company John Busby, Robert Busby and Phillip Busby are the three Directors and Nicola Busby is the Company Secretary. The investment into a larger area of protected cropping (100%), has gained us the ability to sell our fruit from mid May through to the end of October to our main supermarket outlet, Tesco Stores. We also grow arable crops, we used to grow potatoes extensively but now growing English Class I Strawberries has become our number 1 priority! We have become one of the biggest single suppliers of fresh English Class I Strawberries to Tesco Stores Ltd in the midlands and surrounding areas. Nicky works within the family business in the main farm office. Maria works along side Nicky in the office to keep the business in order. The job share suits them both very well.
