Who we are
About the farm
Our family nursery has been working since 1860 at Forton in Lancashire, on the very site where our founder William Robinson started; today it is run by the fourth and fifth generations. We developed the Mammoth strains of giant onions and leeks, and we still specialise in seeds of giant exhibition vegetables, heritage vegetables and herbs, and in vegetable and herb plants raised in our glasshouses – heated by biomass boilers, using natural predators rather than chemical sprays. We send orders throughout the UK from our online shop and mail order catalogue, plants can be collected from the nursery during opening hours, and we sell at national horticultural shows (Gardeners' World Live, Southport, Malvern).

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
