Countryside Seeds Ltd
As of the 1st July a slight change to the business, it's become incorporated and with it a change of name. Farm machinery sales have not been a part of Farm Equip's business for a number of years and we felt now was the time for a new name to reflect more of what we do, so Countryside Seeds Limited was born.
We still offer friendly service and advice with up to date products at keen prices.

The reality is that farming is the most dangerous way-of-life that any person can follow in this country. And the older one gets, the greater the risk of being hurt by an animal or an item of machinery.
