Welcome to H.E.HALL & SON

HE Hall & Son Limited is a small 175 hectare family farming business established in 1896 and currently managed by Peter Hall. 

We straddle the watershed between the rivers Beult and Lesser Teise at Marden on The Low Weald of Kent. Ninety hectares of low input combinable crops are conventionally farmed; the remainder of the land, comprising apples, pears, plums and grassland is farmed organically and has been certified by The Soil Association since 1987.

We host five hectares of grapes, grown for sparkling wine production by Herbert Hall and have a cold storage site where both UK grown and imported produce are handled.

We are the UK agents for French company Xeda International. As such, we are specialists in produce labelling which we handle ourselves, and post-harvest storage treatment of potatoes using essential oils (dealt with through our sister company Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd )

HE Hall & Son Limited has a long history of environmental stewardship and has won a number of awards for the sympathetic approach shown to the local ecology, whilst maintaining the highest production standards.  

The whole farm has been subject to an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) regime for over forty years and now participates fully in a range of Higher and Mid-Tier Environmental Stewardship Schemes. An early adopter of Operation Bumblebee, and a fully committed participant in The RSPB Farmland Bird Survey, and  Operation Turtledove, The Company is a founding member of The Marden Farmer Cluster and as such, has been instrumental in the formation and subsequent support of local citizen science group, Marden Wildlife. 

The Company has a close relationship with London food charity The Felix Project which in 2023 for the first time harvested the twenty-six hectares of our organically grown apples, pears and plums for distribution to those in food poverty in our capital city. It is hoped that this relationship will extend into the foreseeable future, underpinned by other environmentally driven income.
