Tesco Eat Happy Project!
Field trips certainly have changed since our day! We’re very proud to have been involved in our first ever Online Field trip as part of the Tesco Eat Happy project!
Here at Alan Bartlett and Sons we think its important that everyone knows where their food is coming from which is why we are supporting the Eat Happy project, teaching primary school children all about carrots. As part of the project, our very own Toby Bartlett starred in a live online field trip that was watched in schools by children across the country and gave them an opportunity to ask their questions about carrots directly to Toby!
If you couldn’t tune in last week then don’t worry, the whole session is available online here. Obviously the video is no longer live but if you have any questions we will be more than happy to answer them over email or Twitter!

Bartlett & Sons in the Cambs Times!
Did you spot us in the Cambs Times?
Here at Bartlett & Sons we are incredibly proud of our work on the world’s first fully automatic parsnip trimming line so naturally we couldn’t wait to share the news!
After two years of hard work, the trimming line is going to give us an even better cut of parsnip, as well as massively improving productivity and output.
If you missed the post then don’t worry, you can still view it online here!

Barletts Sponsor Chatteris Midsummer Festival
Here at Bartlett’s we know how important the local community is which is why this year we sponsored the Chatteris Midsummer Festival!
Thousands flocked to the festival on the 27th and 28th of June to witness the Mardi Gras-themed parade as well as a whole host of other activities including miniature steam engine rides, cream teas and a dog show.
Even the bad weather couldn’t stop the festivities with music going on until late in the evening for Chatteris’ own Party in the Park!

Solar installation complete
We spent £1m on building one of the UK’s largest solar panel installations’. The 1.2MW system consists of 4,111 PV panels and is forecast to provide up to 25% of our total annual consumption.
Our 1,456-acre carrot and parsnip farm now benefits two-fold from the power of the sun, after installing the solar PV array to harvest electricity.
We recognised the importance of sustainability and its impact on the environment, so as a result we decided to invest in over 4,000 solar modules to significantly reduce the farm’s carbon footprint.
The installation will achieve material cost savings for the business and at the same time greatly contribute to our carbon footprint reduction ambitions.
