Hugh and James Black

From their farm in Angus, father and son Hugh and James Black have supplied us with potatoes since 1999.

Their farm is one of the first arable monitor farms in Scotland. A monitor farm is a normal commercial farm, representative of a region, where the farmer opens up his business and decision-making to other local farmers. It is designed to give them all a chance to improve the profitability of their businesses by sharing experiences, seeking out the best practices on real farms, trying out new techniques, improving their business skills and generally enhancing their ability to farm successfully.
