Our Process
Nurturing growth, one seed at a time
Our produce is grown in glasshouses that are fully computerised, allowing us to adjust the temperature, light, and humidity of the environment by small increments. This precision allows us to maintain optimal crop health and provides the level of control needed to grow produce consistently, with peak freshness, vibrant colour, and exceptional taste every time. Before the germinated seed reaches the glasshouse, we sow our crops to precise schedules, carefully managing the specific germination and growing cycles of each plant, all led by our expert growing team.
Greenhouses powered by Innovation
Investing in technology also matters to us. Our biomass heating system, which uses sustainable wood pellets to generate energy, ensures that our glasshouses are kept at the perfect temperature while supporting our sustainability commitments. We’re also incorporating more solar energy across our sites to reduce our environmental impact and help our customers achieve their net-zero goals. Additionally, our state-of-the-art water system has been specifically designed for our business to increase oxygen levels, prevent bacteria and enhance crop quality. Our advanced water and irrigation system reflects our uncompromising standards in ensuring that our produce surpasses expectations every time.
Quality rooted in every detail
Keeping a close eye on our crops is essential. We do multiple “crop walks” each day to inspect the produce and determine if any adjustments are needed to maintain health and quality before harvest. Once our crops reach the production lines, our efficient systems allow us to pack up to 250 punnets of salad cress per minute, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh produce is guaranteed all year round.
In addition to our first class sowing, growing and packaging processes, we collaborate closely with our customers on product development. By working together, we create innovative living salads and pea shoot blends for retailer-owned brands like Morrison’s The Best, tailored to meet customer preferences.
From glasshouse to plate, every step of our process reflects our dedication to delivering fresh, delicious, and high-quality produce to our customers.
