Haygrove
Product Design in Grabouw

We grow high value crops, substrate systems, and sell growing systems such as polytunnels, harvesting machinery and halo mobile poultry house. Haygrove is a 20 year old UK based principally horticultural business.

Currently we serve nearly 250 customers across all the SA provinces and further afield in Mozambique, Malawi, Botswana, Namibia and Angola. Haygrove Tunnel Greenhouses are used extensively for a wide variety of crops such as soft fruit production, cut flowers, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cherry trees and hoodia. Commercial growers are also benefiting from Haygrove technology as plant nursery and propagation units. The recently introduced Haygrove Home Production unit is proving a popular solution for those wanting to protect plants on a smaller scale. Many of our customers are investing in the basic Haygrove infrastructure and then upgrading later with steel gutters, electric ends and electric roller roof vents to transform their Haygrove Tunnels into Field-Scale climate control Greenhouses. We are strawberry, raspberry and cherry growers farming near Ledbury in Herefordshire, United Kingdom growing both organic and conventionally grown berries. We supply UK and European supermarkets such as M&S, Waitrose and J S Sainsbury with their range of berries. The business was started by Angus Davison in 1988 as part of a University project. The project was based on planting strawberries on 2-acres of rented land near Angus’ family home. In the mid 1990’s exasperated with spoilt fruit from rain, frost, birds, and all other wonderful things that the British climate throws at us we began to design a range of commercial Tunnels and Greenhouses for our own crops. Haygrove Tunnels was born in 1996 and after developing the technology on our home farm and in the UK, then started to export to growers in other countries in Today the business works with a team of design engineers who have developed bespoke systems not only for North European climates, but also for many other climate zones from Kenya to Patagonia. Our passion is working grower to grower, not just selling the technology, but working with growers to ensure they optimise their returns from the Haygrove Tunnel system. Subsequently we have become passionate about welfare friendly free range livestock systems and this is a fun part of our business. In addition we are currently building our range of specialist Substrate Growing Systems and specialist machinery to support our growing network of Haygrove Tunnel customers.
