About Us

 

We are not just growers, we are experts who have perfected the art of growing blackcurrants, implementing a complicated methodology and responding to the consumers’ growing demands for environmental conscientiousness and responsible husbandry.

We now grow around 2,000 hectares of blackcurrants in the British Isles, producing a crop of over 13,000 tonnes every year.
