Growing

Our suppliers form the heart of our business and we are proud to have such a professional grower base.

It has been our policy for a number of years to adopt Integrated Farm Management (IFM) principles in and effort to produce wholesome safe food, while having minimum impact on the environment. We offer a wide range of support to our growers to ensure customer requirements are met.

• Full production advice is given to growers detailing varieties, volume and production timeframes
• Technical and agronomic guidance is given for the entire supply base, along with compliance support for crop assurance protocols
