Our history
Our farm business began in 1933, started by Mrs P. Franks who ran Manor Farm until 1956 when her son Mr Brian Franks took over (although he had already been helping for several years).
During the war, one of his jobs before going to school was to take the day's deliveries to Sleaford Station on a pony and trap, for onward delivery to customers. In those days, the cost of a pullet was 15/- (75p) with half a crown per crate for the railway.
The business grew and prospered throughout the 60's and into the 70's when farming practice started to change, with everything becoming more intensive. The business continued by selling in smaller numbers to gardeners and allotment keepers, and building the trade sales up to the present day.
Mr Brian Franks passed away in 2017 and the farm is now run by his son, Jonathan, and his small team of helpers. We offer help and support to first time keepers and advice to anybody who has any queries.
