About the farm:
We have been farming on this client owned site since 2006. The farm is home to an old WW2 site and Rockingham Castle, built by William the Conqueror nearly 1000 years ago. The castle was a royal residence for 450 years before Henry VIII granted it to the Watson family, where it has remained for another 450 years, making the castle one of the country's longest continuously occupied home.
From Farm to Fork?
No
Farm Manager:
Name: Joe Scott
Interesting fact: Joe has worked for The Co-operative Farms at Ashby St Ledgers since 2005 and during 2010 took over managing the farm at Rockingham as well. He has two teenage sons who play rugby and football and he enjoys watching them play. Joe still tries to play football himself, although the pain is getting worse each day after!
