About E.C Drummond
The Drummond family have been farming in Herefordshire Since 1956. Eric Drummond senior, who had previously farmed in Scotland, came to The Homme in Ross-on-Wye with its 90 hectare's of mixed farming which included potatoes, cereal crops and blackcurrants whilst also rearing sheep and cattle.Over the last 50 years the business has continued to grow, to what it is today. Whilst some the crops of have changed we are still based at the same farm and a family business.
Today the business is based around Poultry Production, Soft Fruit Growing, Arable and Potato Enterprises, with our subsidiary Greenblade growing and selling high quality Lawn Turf
Protecting our countryside
The countryside in which the various divisions of E.C Drummond farm and operate is important to Eric and his family, especially Homme farm in Ross-on-Wye which is also the Drummond family's home. The family is sensitive to the impact that the business operations have on the surrounding landscape and are therefore passionate about rural conservation, environmental and wildlife protection issues which play a major part in the company's strategic and tactical business decision planning processes.
The business 'Its a family thing'
E.C Drummond is at its heart, and always has been, a family business. Their eldest son Ben joined the business in 2004. Today, Eric and Ben manage and oversee the partnership's day to day operations and, together with a dedicated management team, continue to take the business from strength to strength.
