Excellence runs through everything we do. All products are Red Tractor Assured, meeting rigorous UK standards for safety, traceability, and environmental care.

Having been established since 1956, we’ve built our reputation on being the grower that delivers, without compromise.
Salad cress is the original British microgreen, first introduced in the 1960s. Today, each punnet is filled with a peppery blend of rape and cress seedlings.
Pea shoots are the young leaves and tendrils of pea plants offering a sweet and fresh pea-pod flavour with a crisp texture and vibrant green colour to bring a delicious freshness.
Our pea shoot blends take bagged salad to the next level combining our signature pea shoots with the peppery crunch of purple radish and the delicate sweet notes of garlic chives.
Micro in size, massive in flavour – our vibrant seedlings are harvested just after their first true leaves emerge, delivering a fresh and intense burst of flavour and colour.
Fresh, vibrant, and still growing our living salads bring the joy of just-picked leaves straight to your kitchen, grown in a mix of red and green lettuce varieties offering a beautiful balance of colour.
From our home in Yorkshire, we grow a variety of specialty salad produce in glasshouses across our two sites and pack up to 250 punnets of cress per minute on our busy production lines.
Salad cress is not only packed full of flavour; this little punnet of leaves is also nutritious. Still living when bought, makes it one of the freshest ingredients in your salad.
