The site has a long association with the rhubarb industry and now has areas of strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. The strawberries are grown in the soil or in growing bags as table top production in Spanish tunnels. Current work has concentrated on pest and disease control and evaluating different substrates as the industry moves away from relying on peat.
