Our work culture
Our success is based on our teams’ skills, hands-on approach, hard work and dedication. Below you have a chance to meet some of our competent people, who are behind the sustainable development and care of our farms, crops, and animals in the different Ingleby countries.

Taking sustainable agriculture further by adopting regenerative agricultural practices
Healthier soils through regenerative agriculture will improve our farms’ resilience to extreme weather, safeguarding food production

The importance of culture to your company
We employ around 3,100 people on our orchards in Peru, compared to 1,100 five years ago. Investing in and developing high-value crops creates many jobs in our communities. Also in Peru, we started building a picker’s village to accommodate teams during busy periods
