All
orders great and small.
We can
supply all your needs, early, second early and maincrop
Due
to adverse weather conditions and waterlogged ground we have not as yet been
able to harvest our potatoes but we are still hopeful and when we do get
them harvested we will open the web site. We apologize for the inconvenience
but unfortunately we have no control over the weather.
We grow quality seed potatoes for both home and export markets.
The Scoular Family have farmed at
Park Head for three generations since 1940.
Park Head is now farmed by George and Jossie Scoular and son Robert.
The main enterprises are grain and seed potatoes, a flock of Pedigree Poll
Dorset sheep, a herd of Pedigree Polled Hereford cattle, and a herd of Hereford
Cross Fresian suckler cows.
The farm is on
the Solway plain, approximately 2 miles in-land from the small Victorian seaside
town of Silloth, and 20 miles from the M6 motorway and Carlisle.
Silloth is on the edge of the Solway Firth.
The surrounding area is known as the Solway Plane.
It is very fertile land, approximately 20 to 25 feet above sea level and
suitable for growing a wide variety of crops, particularly roots and seed potatoes.
The whole of the
Solway Plane was once farmed by Cistercian Monks, who founded Holme Cultram
Abbey in 1150, and the name "Silloth" comes from Sea Lathe - a barn by the sea,
where the monks stored their grain.
