A bit about us
ZERO WASTE - We're working to become a zero-waste business, incorporating sustainable energy, recyclable packaging and zero produce to landfill. Through culinary craft and manufacturing innovation, we're creating a host of new chilled and ambient products to take care of every tomato.
SMART ENERGY - Our farm is powered sustainably, harnessing the waste heat and carbon dioxide generated by the Isle of Wight's power supply, plus renewable solar energy from our adjacent solar field. We irrigate our crop with harvested rainwater, stored in our on-site reservoirs, and we use focused LEDs to encourage photosynthesis without wasting light energy.
SOIL HEALTH - We grow both organically and conventionally, a twin strategy in which our conventional coconut-based growing substrate is composted to feed our organic soil. This perfectly circular and sustainable system results in zero waste to landfill, no requirement for bought-in compost, and soil that gets healthier every year.
TOMORROW’S TASTES - We believe food security relies on fast, local supply, and are proud that our tomatoes are enjoyed across the UK just hours after picking. We grow and trial more varieties than anyone else, continually creating produce that can meet a whole host of culinary needs, while delivering great taste.
