CHANDLER & DUNN

 FARMING FOR THE FUTURE

OUR HISTORY

"Traditional family farming for over 200 years."

Our history started when Peter Chandler purchased 26 acres at Goldstone and over several generations his family expanded the farm.

 

Mr G S Dunn joined Mr A S. Chandler as a partner in the farm, which continued to expand.

 

First purchased cattle

 

First registered with the Sussex Cattle Society. Pedigree Sussex Herd established at Goldstone (all our cattle today stem from that original herd).

 

Chandler and Dunn Ltd was formed as a family company under the leadership of the next generation - Robert, Philip and David Chandler and John Dunn.

 

Fruit Grower and Edible Crop Grower of the Year.

 

Marks & Spencer, Finalist Farming of the Future Awards.

 

10 family members spanning three generations are actively involved in the business:

Ian Chandler [son of Robert]
Clive Chandler (son of Philip)
Richard Chandler (son of Philip)
Peter Chandler (son of David) and his daughter Hannah
Paul Dunn (son of John) and his children Charles and Stewart
Roger Dunn (son of John) and his daughter Alice.

This not only gives Chandler & Dunn over 207 years of farming knowledge and hands-on experience, this continuity gives the farm a powerful springboard into farming for the future.
