Adrian Scripps LTD Adrian Scripps began farming in 1960 on a traditional Weald of Kent Hop and Fruit Farm. The philosophy was simple; produce quality, reinvest and expand.

We are fruit farmers in Kent, having farmed the land in West Kent on one of our farms since the 1960's we produce high quality Desert and Cooking apples, Pears and Sauvignon Grapes. Today, Adrian Scripps Ltd farms 750Ha across 5 specially selected sites across Kent, our farms are based in Tonbridge, Gravesend and Canterbury. This includes more than 320Ha of Apples, Pears and Blackcurrants making us one of the UK’s largest fruit growers.

Our harvest is well under way despite all the challenges Mother Nature has thrown at us again this year... of heavy rain followed by frost, hail and then a scorching summer!

Our fruit looks good, but we have a long way to go.

Kevin, pictured here on his 50th harvest...what an amazing guy and an amazing achievement. Many thanks go to Kevin and all our great team throughout ASL who make the harvest happen, often against all the odds.

It's not just lambs and calves that need nightime care...our dedicated production team have been out caring for the 🍇 vines...a frost at this stage will break a crop but the candles help to keep them frost free. With many thanks to our colleagues for all their effort in giving these vines the best possible chance.

Spring is a wonderful time for us, but Mother Nature will ultimately make or break a crop. For our Production team, it is a particularly anxious time. Conditions must be right now for a successful crop and these are constantly being monitored; is it warm enough, is it going to be frosty, are we expecting hailstorms, will it be suitable conditions for the bees to pollinate? The recent cold winds from the east have been of concern, but many conditions we can do nothing about.
However, AI assisted technology is something we can utilise where decision making is much improved, thus enhancing our chances of a good harvest. Through scanning individual trees from our tractors, we can map blossom density. This is a massive improvement in our ‘toolbox’ to help determine our approach to achieve the best results from each variety in each orchard.
One photo here from Fred’s tractor is an example of the mapping we are achieving through this tremendous technology.

Fred let loose with our latest farm technology after being part of our team for over 25 years! That must be the straightest he’s ever driven and with no hands on the wheel! Spring has finally arrived after the most horrendously wet winter, mother nature once again challenging us. The pruning has gone well, even for the beavers! Buds have emerged and all the orchards are coming alive once again. Happy days!
