In the 1920s Edward Filbert became the tenant of Kings Farm in Cambridgeshire. In 1978 his grandson James Filbert became the latest manager. In the intervening years the farm has changed considerably.

It has grown from 195 acres to over 3,000 acres and is owned by an agricultural company that owns several other farms in the area. Kings Farm grows a variety of vegetables, cereals and fruit, with Kings Fruit Farm as a subsidiary that focuses on their apple, pear, plum, damson and cherry orchards.
