Our Story

About

James Foskett Farms was established in 2005, evolving from the original H&J Foskett partnership. That partnership began in 1955 when Henry Foskett, a first-generation farmer, purchased 180 acres at Low Farm in Bromeswell. That same year, Henry married Joanne and launched H&J Foskett, laying the foundation for what would become a successful farming enterprise. In 1964 irrigation was installed at Low Farm. This transformed our Grade 4 land into highly productive vegetable ground.

James joined the partnership in 1979, continuing the family tradition of growth and innovation. In 2024 James daughter, Jess Church joined the business to lead on the organic sales and marketing.

It’s a family affair

Today, through steady expansion, our land base spans over the picturesque Deben Valley and within a 35-mile radius of Low Farm. We specialise in growing potatoes, onions, and a wide range of organic vegetables.

Our facilities are state-of-the-art, featuring crop storage for produce, modern grading systems, blast chilling, a weighbridge, a quality control room, and dedicated organic dispatch.

Forward thinking

We are never content to stand still and are always exploring new opportunities for growth and improvement. Our diverse range of crops enables customers to purchase a wide selection of produce, setting us apart from others in the market.
 
We continually invest in up-to-date technology and equipment. In 2026, we introduced a Carbon Robotics laser weeder, using advanced AI technology to support our organic crops and secure the future of our business.
