As organic fruit and vegetable wholesalers in the UK, our suppliers are crucial to the success of our business. We work with as many local organic farmers and growers as we can, encouraging them to expand their cropping if that is their wish, and advising them about the crops and quality that our customers require.
Many of our suppliers are based in the West Midlands and we use local producers wherever possible. Sometimes, soil types and seasonality mean that we need to use other growers to supplement the local production. These might be regional specialists or they could just be very good growers from a different part of the country. We also use international certified fruit and vegetable growers and suppliers to ensure all round availability for our customers.
For example:
We source products from the UK when they are available and in season.
We also buy directly from Spanish, Italian and French growers and traders for a range of citrus fruits and other crops that are not grown in the UK.
It is important to note that none of our produce is ever air-freighted.
