The humble beetroot. We grow 9 varieties of 3 colours to secure our customers a year round supply of Red, Golden & Choggia (candy) beetroot. The flavour and look of each is very individual, from the childhood memory’s of earthy red beetroot to the sweet and complex flavour of golden beetroot, we love them all! #freshproduce #localfood #sussexproduce #instafood #seasonalfruit #londonfood #eatlocal
It’s outrageous how good our growers are. We are supplying hundreds of food business’s across the south east with the finest and freshest produce, and we love it! #freshproduce #wholesaleveg #sussexwholesale #customercare #fruit&veg #eatlocal
Checking our hives every week to make sure we have our queen busy creating the next generation of foragers, with minimal threats, is very important at this time of year. It’s also great to see how the bees are behaving, their habits and how busy they are building their stores of delicious honey! Watching these guys coming in and out of the hive covered in nectar and pollen of all colours shows how varied the crops they are foraging are! #savethebees #honey #agriculture

Warmer weather and lots of blossom means our bees are as busy as can be #spring #honey
Someone has got to mix the leaves! This marks the start of our spring, a peppery, flavoursome and amazing looking mixed leaf. #local #sussexproduce #eatlocal
Naturally occurring springs force water from aquifers under the chalk belt that is the South Downs. With no external input or mechanical aid, our local watercress is as organic as it gets, with everything done by hand year round #southdowns #local #regenerativeagriculture #
Our Sussex Braeburn apples are mind blowing. These little gems were harvested back in September/October and have been kept in an atmospherically modified area (posh fridge) so when we pull them out to deliver to our customers across London and the south east, they are perfect #local #supplychain #simple #intelligentfood #nochemical #breaburn #eatlocal
With #soilhealth making mainstream news headlines, food production faces enormous challenges, but also has its biggest opportunity to step up and diversify traditional conventional techniques. As growers and buyers, we are always trialing and monitoring ways of improving our soil health, increasing our biodiversity and improving our food production techniques in order to future proof our food eco system. Increasing awareness of the impact of food production (of all types) is imperative to protecting food nutrition density, Biodiversity and the growing environments ability to enrich the wider enviroment. #regenuary
