A big day for the farm today as we welcome the first of two new Horsch sprayers to our machinery fleet. Operator James Slaven couldn’t wait to get his new machine - we are keeping our fingers crossed for some better spraying weather next week so we can put the new machine to work
Have you ever wondered how your Christmas parsnips get from the field to your plate? We wanted to show you the exhilarating ride our parsnips take on their way to your festive feast
We are delighted to be working closely with @wymasolutions developing this world first technology
With the countdown to Christmas well underway the farm and factory teams are busy working day and night to harvest, process, pack and dispatch parsnips to our customers.
The recent wet weather is making harvesting conditions challenging but thankfully we are still going…
We are very excited to announce the launch of our new look website today. It features a fresh new design and showcases all elements of our business. Head over to frederickhiam.co.uk to have a look for yourself.
Big thanks to @AppetiteM for their hard work on this project.

At Frederick Hiam, we a passionate about parsnips! 🎄🚜
Parsnips are harvested in the winter as an essential part of our Christmas dinner. Stored starches in parsnips convert to sugar to avoid freezing, making them deliciously sweet in taste! 😋

Growing pumpkins this year was a bit of a diversion for us but the crop on our main Brandon site has proved popular with both the local bee population and local children. We donated pumpkins to both Bunwell Primary School and Rocking Horse Nursery👻 🎃
