R & L Holt is a partnership originally formed by Rick and Laura Holt and has now expanded to include Roly and Felicity Holt as working partners. Tomatoes have been grown commercially since the early 1980s in the Vale of Evesham. The crops are grown hydroponically and currently use the Nutrient Film Technique.
Building a glasshouse at Springhill.
It started with the purchase of Sandylands Nurseries in 1979 which housed a variety of old greenhouses on the site. These have been replaced and then in 2004 we bought Hornsfield Nurseries, where we built a new 6 acre block in 2005. 2009/2010 saw the construction of Springhill Nurseries that brings the total glasshouse acreage of the three sites to 22 acres.
All sites are under the overall control of Rick Holt but all major decisions are made by the Holt family.
