About A P Innes
A brief history
Management of the farm has now passed to the third generation, Doug and Graham, following on from their father, Clive, and grandfather, Alan. Clive has run the farm for the past 40+ years and continues to pass on to his sons his invaluable knowledge, experience and passion for farming.
Doug and Graham pursued their careers in Commercial Property and Civil Engineering respectively; however, both retained their enthusiasm for farming and since 2015 have been actively involved in the business at Windywalls. They now intend to drive A P Innes Farming forward by drawing on their commercial experience, knowledge and business acumen, and continuing to innovate and expand the farm’s use of new technologies and industry best practice.
