Varfell

Varfell is a hamlet within the parish of Ludgvan, Cornwall, UK. Varfell Farm is the world's largest producers of daffodil bulbs.

In 1882 the Penzance Rural Sanitary Authority agreed to supply Mr Lawry 500 imperial gallons (2,300 L; 600 US gal) daily for the greenhouses, on the condition that if there was a shortage the supply would be diverted to Marazion and St Michael's Mount. The annual rate of payment was £6. Varfell is now one the centres of production for the large flower and bulb growers Winchester Bulbs.

Varfell was the ancestral home of the chemist Humphry Davy.
