Family Owned & Operated Since 1954

Our farming heritage

P R Bones & Son was established in 1954 and has been based at Buddles Farm, between Broadstairs and Margate on the Isle of Thanet, since 1963.

In its early years, the farm produced a wide range of vegetables and top fruit, and also kept 13,000 hens for egg production. As the business developed, the focus shifted to more specialised crops.

Today, the farm is known for its high-quality cauliflower, Romanesco, and a range of niche and new cauliflower varieties. Alongside this, we grow spring wheat and field beans under seed contracts, supplying the agricultural sector with reliable, certified seed crops.

Each autumn, we also grow pumpkins for Halloween, which are enjoyed by families visiting our seasonal Pumpkin Barn.

Now in its fourth generation, P R Bones & Son remains a family-run farm with a commitment to quality, innovation, and local tradition.
