Sheeplands Farm — what kind of farm, conditions, how to get in (2026)
Verified: 2026-08-23
A Hall Hunter Partnership berry site in Berkshire visited by members of our community — hence the twelve photos taken by the workers themselves. The holding publishes no separate figures for this site, so conditions and pay are given for the group as a whole. The 2023 TBIJ investigation concerned a different site of the same holding — Tuesley Farm in Surrey, not Sheeplands.

Possible operators
- HOPS Labour Solutions — Members of our community report arriving at this site on the Seasonal Worker scheme through HOPS.
