Taste of the Sea Our Taste of the Sea collection are products specially selected and grown for their unique flavour and saline qualities. Sea vegetables are a rich source of both nutrients and vitamins and they are typically high in calcium, magnesium and iodine. There are many varieties of sea vegetables (and seaweeds) with each one having their own benefits and flavours. Delightful to eat with a light, delicate flavour that enhances the foods they are added to, and only take a few minutes to steam cook or sauté. Most usually they are served with fish, seafood or salt-marsh lamb.
Micro Leaf Micro leaves are the young versions of herbs or salad leaves harvested at seed leaf or first true leaf stage.
The Micro Leaf range is specially selected for their intense flavours, eye catching colours, visual structural impact and tenderness. Used and eaten whole, and cut for you there’s almost no preparation and very little waste. Used by some of the top Michelin starred chefs in the UK, Micro Leaf is an innovative ingredient for premium sandwich manufacturers, prepared salads and food service sectors
Inspired Inspired is our more unusual collection of distinctive leaves and flowers, selected and grown for their uniqueness and visual or flavour impact. Some of the products in this collection have their origins as foraged plants.
The Inspired range really does take everyone out of their comfort zone and introduces taste sensations such as Edible flowers, or Specials such as Micro Melons and Buzz Buttons. These products can add a zesty flavour or an impressive dash of colour to any menu. Whilst their origins may be from traditional foraged products or from pure innovation we now grow them as commercial speciality growers.

Heritage Heritage is our range of heirloom varieties or vegetables that were commonly grown during earlier agricultural times but are not used in modern large-scale agriculture.
This range allows us to revisit some great tasting varieties with a view to bringing something unique to the market place, particularly with the eye catching colours, visual appeal and most importantly flavour. The Heritage range is typified by the array of variety of types, shapes, colours, sizes and flavours. The range includes Tomatoes whilst not as attractive as commercial grown varieties what they may lack in their unusual appearance the range more than makes up for in flavour, taste and aroma. This is very much a trial crop therefore not all products may be available. Please call to check availability.
