Russell Smith Farms is a family business. The business has been farming in Duxford and Thriplow, Cambridgeshire since 1938.
The business now extends to over 2000 acres including additional land rented on an annual basis. The business is based in Duxford, near to the Imperial War Museum with other land situated in Thriplow, Elmdon and Hinxton. 
We are a LEAF demonstration farm and we host visits from a wide range of organisations, including Schools, Colleges and local interest groups. Over the past 17 years the farm business has developed from being a typical cereal farm growing mainly high value cereal crops, to one specialising in the production of premium quality vegetables, including potatoes, onions and other vegetables for different customers, including supermarkets and local shops and box schemes. This expansion has been made possible by investment in irrigation to to fully utilise the available water In 1998 we started to convert land for the production of organic vegetables, and we now supply potatoes, onions and other vegetables to the major supermarkets as well as locally to shops and box schemes. |
