Since they took over the 800-acre property in 2011, their vision to leverage the farm’s position on the river Deben and to put Easton on the map has been achieved by establishing a wedding, events, catering and tourism business, all operating alongside the agricultural farm.

Easton Grange is an all-season wedding venue inspired by the rural environment that operates from a former dairy barn. Offering on-site accommodation in a former farmhouse and converted bakehouse, it launched in 2013 and in 2016 Snooty Goose Catering was established to complement and produce a delicious, locally sourced menu.

In 2010 the Kerrs acquired the village pub, The Easton White Horse, and in 2022 they opened The Farmstead luxury accommodation featuring eight sustainably built holiday lodges. Most recently, in 2024, Easton Grange Events launched to offer experiences across the entire portfolio.

Alterra Farms is a true Suffolk enterprise, not only in helping people discover this picturesque corner of England but in ensuring that local craftspeople and businesses are at the heart of what has been created. The timeline highlights the key milestones that have shaped the journey, including the appointment of managing director, Rosie Richardson to help drive and launch the new businesses and initiatives that bring value to their community and customers.
