Potatoes
We are proud to have over 60 years experience producing potatoes, a classic British staple. We offer a full potato portfolio to satisfy the needs of multiple sectors, such as crisping, chipping and packing. We also grow a large portion of our own seed making us more resilient.
We pride ourselves in our quality management from the moment the seed is produced to when the potatoes leave our yard. This includes giving weekly updates for our crisping customers on tuber counts and quality levels post planting, as well as working closely with our agronomist.
Our potatoes are stored in box stores for up to 9 months, which we are able to do thanks to careful monitoring by our stores manager. All our potato stores are powered using the electricity produced from our Anaerobic Digester, which is one of the ways we have reduced our carbon footprint per tonne.
Examples of our customers:
Bagged Chipping Potatoes
Our bagged potatoes are produced from our box stores to order for merchant customers who supply fish and chip shops across the UK. They are bagged the day before collection and are graded twice out of store beforehand, to ensure the highest quality, as we understand the issues that poor quality produce can cause for our chipping customers.
If you are a merchant and you would like to discuss our supply options, please contact us with your query.
Please note we do not do individual bag sales or sales to non-commercial customers currently.
Our Accreditations
We follow the Red Tractor and LEAF standards to ensure our produce is of the highest quality, it is responsibly sourced and is done in a sustainable way.
Carrots
We produce carrots specifically for UK supermarkets and harvest our carrots on the same day as they are collected to be processed and bagged.
Varieties such as Norfolk, Nairobi and Eskimo are preferred. Any carrots which do not meet the supermarket grade are distributed over the UK and used for horse feed.
Combinable Crops & Oil Seed Rape
We grow wheat for milling and animal feed. Varieties include Zyatt, Skyfall, Extase and Shabras.
Oil seed rape is produced for rape seed oil and the waste from the extraction process is used for animal feed also. Varieties include Flamingo, Ballad, Alizze and Crocodile.
Maize
We produce grain maize and forage maize. Forage Maize is an ideal crop for our Anaerobic Digester as it produces a large amount of biomass and higher levels of methane.
