Duncan Worth is the fourth generation of the Worth family to farm the alluvial silts at Manor Farm, Holbeach Hurn. Arthur Hovenden Worth moved to the area in the late 1800’s when, with the help of his father, he bought 1,500 acres, with a further 500 acres purchased shortly after.

Worth Farms continues to farm the original 2,000 acres of land around the village of Holbeach Hurn, together with an additional 2,500 acres of rented land to help with the sustainable 6 year rotation. The acreage is divided between a number of key crops, notably potatoes, peas, wheat, sugar beet, brassica and specialist salads.

Potatoes are an important crop for the business, with the vast majority grown for retail and foodservice use. The superb soil produces excellent quality Maris Piper. Irrigation is quite limited on the farm due to the saline water, though an amount of fresh water is available for the salad crops.
Worth Farms is also a LEAF Demonstration Farm; Marsh Harriers (Circus aeruginosus) have successfully nested on the farm for the last ten years, whilst Barn Owl (Tyto alba) numbers continue to increase with the careful management of their habitat.
