Moat Farm

2013 was a very exciting year for us at Walnes Seeds with us completing construction of our new seed plant and storage site.

This development was 3 years in planning and it is very good to finally see it completed. The plan brings together the skills and expertise of our current staff, which have been built up over 30 years, with a modern processing and storage facility.

The new site encompasses all the elements of processing and mixing, as well as providing to our customers a range of new cleaning, mixing and storage activities, which has lead to increased contract growing opportunities.

As you can imagine we are very keen to share the experience with our customers and so you will find below some images of the site during the construction process.
