Grosvenor Rural Estates is responsible for the long-term stewardship of three rural estates in the United Kingdom.
Working to protect, enhance, and restore sensitive environmental habitats within these unique locations and improving local property and places, our aim is to be a leading example of sustainability within the rural economy - contributing to the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of the communities we are part of.
Our Estates
Eaton Estate
We manage and work to improve a range of agricultural, residential and commercial properties in rural Cheshire and parts of Chester city centre.

Grosvenor Farms
Grosvenor Farms produce high-quality, nutritious, milk and cereal grains, adopting sustainable practices that benefit animal welfare and enhance the environment.
From our award-winning commercial farm within Grosvenor’s Eaton Estate in Cheshire, we produce over 35 million litres of fresh milk a year – enough for half a million people every day – and grow 2,200 hectares of forage and grains for food production and animal feed. Our ambition is to be the UK’s leading producer of milk and cereal grains, farming sustainably to become a net zero carbon operation by 2030, building on our 50% carbon reduction achieved over the past five years.
