Luffness Mains is an arable farm on the coast of East Lothian, south-east Scotland, 20 miles from Edinburgh, growing mainly potatoes, carrots and wheat.
The land here has been farmed by three generations of the Stevenson family and since 2001 has been in the stewardship of Allan Stevenson, joined in 2009 by Farm Director Geert Knottenbelt and two years later by his son Graham Knottenbelt.
We grow crops not only on the 185 hectares of the home farm, but also on up to 400 hectares within about 70km (45 miles) of Luffness, which we manage with our team of seven.
We believe in continual improvement in our farming with sustainability in mind, and since 2006 have been a member of LEAF – Linking Environment and Farming, which is our main way to achieve this.
The dedication of our team and our commitment to innovative farming techniques are, we believe, key to our being effective and efficient food producers while also improving our sustainability.
We also have our own trucks for transporting our crops, through which we are able to provide a shipping service for other producers, and an equestrian facility on the farm which is run as a separate business.
