Farming
The family’s home farm is based in the parishes of Creaton and Spratton. There is a small farm at
Ravensthorpe and additional land is rented off the Althorp Estate.
The majority of the business is focused on arable farming. In 2000 TC Matts & Sons were one of
the founding partners of Brixworth Farming Company. Brixworth Farming Company is an
arable joint venture which contract farms some 6,000 acres of North Northamptonshire. Charles
has been its Managing Director since it was established.
During the 1990’s the farm had a large sheep flock. Unfortunately a core part of the flock had to be
put down due to foot and mouth and replacing them could not be commercially justified. Since that
time the family has continued to run sheep albeit on a more limited scale. Lambing normally takes
place outside in April at Home Farm, Spratton with lambs being finished on the spring grass and stubble turnips.
We would be delighted to hear from landowners and farmers who wish to discuss farming opportunities with us. We would be pleased to consider all types of contract farming, profit share and rental opportunities.
