History

It all began in 1968, when the company, already a successful fruit and vegetable retailer, decided to invest in a 20-Acre smallholding at Dargate, near Faversham in Kent. Although little more than a hobby for us in those days, the business expanded and changed alongside our customers and consumer demands, and today we have farms in excess of 3,000 acres, mostly around the Canterbury area.

This has given us full control over the end product, including complete traceability. In the beginning, of course, we did not think of ourselves as visionary when we initiated this 'seed to shelf' philosophy. Today though, with increasing media, consumer and government attention on food safety, it puts us a step ahead of the industry. Four decades ago it was only a practical way to guarantee the integrity of the produce.

Committed to the very highest standards, our harvest teams pick only the choicest produce and then prepare and pack them with care. So no matter what your specifications we can supply an appealing product that increases your sales and profitability.
