Farming since 1940

Symonds Farm at Great Saxham was tenanted by the family from the early 1900s. Geo. E. Gittus and Sons Ltd was established when the farm was purchased in 1957 by George Gittus Snr, Grandfather to George, and was subsequently farmed by Fred Gittus Snr, George's father until he died in 2017.

The business has grown over the years and now operates a farming enterprise consisting of owned and contracted land, commercial storage enterprises, and an anaerobic digestion plant producing renewable electricity.
