About Us

We supply and mix a huge variety of agricultural and non agricultural seeds. Pre-mixed, pre-packaged and bespoke mixed solutions are available. Each customer is treated individually, and we understand that each farm and order is unique.

All Welch seeds are quality guaranteed and mixed in accordance with FERA (part of DEFRA) seeds processing regulations. We can happily say that our seed mixes meet all standards and requirements of purity and germination. We record every seed lot reference number and mixture of seed lots for assurance of traceability and peace of mind.

Our offices and storage facilities are nestled in the heart of Monifeith on the Firth of Tay adjacent to the thriving city of Dundee. Being surrounded by fertile farmland and benefiting from excellent road links between the central belt up towards Aberdeenshire and the Highlands has allowed our business to thrive. We are exceptionally proud that our central location and wealth of expertise has resulted in high customer loyalty.

We mix, package and deliver all orders from our warehouse, meaning we can turn around orders quickly and efficiently. We have a broad client base and are often approached by all kinds of land and farm owners, educational facilities, equestrian and sports grounds. If you would like to see how we can help your organisation, please get in touch.
