The Copas Partnership is a family-run business managing commercial properties, event venues, farmland, and moorings across Berkshire.

The Copas Partnership has been rooted in the Thames Valley for over a century, evolving from a small family farm into a thriving, multi-faceted rural enterprise. The family began farming in Cookham in 1901, but it was in 1957 that the course of their legacy changed forever. That year, Tom A. Copas was given his first flock of turkeys, unknowingly laying the foundation for what would become Copas Traditional Turkeys, now one of the UK’s most respected names in high-welfare, slow-grown Christmas turkeys.

Over the years, The Copas Partnership has expanded beyond turkeys, embracing sustainable farming, property management, and event hosting. The family acquired Remenham Farm in 1977, a picturesque stretch of land on the River Thames that has since become an integral part of Henley Royal Regatta, hosting guests and world-class rowing events. Beyond Regatta season, the farm provides a venue for diverse events and offers moorings for boaters enjoying the Thames.

As farming practices evolved, The Copas Partnership diversified its land use, repurposing historic farm buildings into high-quality commercial office spaces like The Courtyard Barns in Cookham and Riverside Barns at Remenham Farm. These conversions preserve the region’s agricultural heritage while supporting modern businesses.

The Copas family has been deeply rooted in Cookham for over 300 years, with a long tradition of working the land and adapting to the needs of their community. While their farming legacy began in 1901, it was Tom A. Copas who transformed the family’s future when he reared his first flock of turkeys in 1957, pioneering traditional high-welfare methods that would set a new standard in British farming.

Tom A. Copas was more than a farmer—he was a champion of sustainable agriculture, high-welfare livestock rearing, and rural business innovation. He was instrumental in founding the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association (TFTA) and was honored with numerous industry awards for his contributions. His commitment to excellence made Copas Traditional Turkeys a household name, recognized by leading chefs and food critics alike.

Following his passing in 2021, his son Tom C. Copas took the helm, carrying forward his father’s vision while ensuring that The Copas Partnership continues to thrive in a changing world. Tom’s leadership has upheld the family’s reputation for exceptional animal welfare, sustainability, and dedication to quality, while also embracing innovation to keep the business moving forward.

Beyond farming, the Copas family has always been dedicated to community and conservation. Their stewardship of Remenham Farm, home to Henley Royal Regatta’s iconic Start Line, reflects their commitment to preserving and enhancing the landscape for future generations. Today, under Tom’s leadership, The Copas Partnership continues to balance tradition with progress, ensuring that the family’s legacy remains strong for years to come.
