About Us

Located in Kent, the Garden of England, Mansfields is one of the largest growers and packers of top, stone and soft fruit with over 40 years of experience. The family run business is the biggest UK apple grower and the largest UK cherry grower, whilst also growing pears, plums and strawberries in significant volumes.

The company comprises of over 3,000 acres of top fruit (dessert apples, culinary apples and pears), stone fruit (cherries and plums) and soft fruit (strawberries), which are grown on 16 locations in Kent at varied geographic locations in order to extend harvest seasons and to mitigate weather related risk. The main storage and packing site is located at Nickle Farm on the outskirts of Chartham village, six miles south of Canterbury on the A28. At our Nickle Farm packhouse we grade and pack most of this fruit ourselves.
We have the most modern facilities with which to grade and pack our fruit but we also undertake third party grading and packing.

We employ around 150 permanent staff over the various sites. During the height of the season this figure can grow to over 1,000 with temporary picking and packing staff.
