Fruit farming runs through the veins of the Chambers family, who have successfully grown fruit in Kent for a number of generations. Kent’s mixture of chalk, sand and clay soils, together with a drier climate than the rest of the UK, combine to offer the optimum horticulture conditions - hence the ‘Garden of England’ reference which Kent has enjoyed for over 400 years.

​

The current business was set up by WB Chambers in 1952. Third generation owner and present managing director Tim Chambers took over the reins of running the family’s farms in 1990, focusing on berry, currant and stone fruit production.

​

Chambers is the largest independent cane fruit grower in the UK, supplying quality fruit directly from the farm to many of the country’s major multiples.

​

As specialists in its field, the business has identified a broad selection of varieties which can be relied upon to deliver a consistent and high-quality crop that is synonymous with the Chambers brand. The ability to identify core varieties capable of delivering the maximum quality yield over the longest possible season plays a vital role in the business’ success, with Chambers investing in protected tunnel-based production techniques for all products.
