We are commercial herb producers situated in Guernsey where we have twelve acres of modern heated glass.  The island is in an excellent location for Horticulture, enabling us to take full advantage of the warm summers and mild winters allowing us to be productive throughout the year.

Over the last 20 years our business has had to adapt rapidly to supply an ever increasing market.  The herb trade has changed from being a fairly unconventional sporadic niche market to what is now a common commodity.

 

However, there is no time for complacency in this ever changing climate.  As demand has increased so has supply and, importantly consumer attitudes.  These attitudes triggered by many, 'health scares' have become far more cultured and constantly require higher standards.

 

We minimise the use of pesticides by Steam Sterilisation and the use of Biological Control.  With regular soil analysis we are able to reduce the use of fertilisers.  All equipment and boilers are regularly checked so as to ensure their efficiency and minimise pollution.  All waste is separated and recycled where possible.  We have undertaken a tree planting programme on our Nurseries to enhance their environmental aspects.

 

To ensure this we are Members of Assured Produce and British Herb Traders Association.  They have strict procedures which they Audit us against.  Our pack house and vinery are at the standard required by our supermarkets and we offer complete traceability.  We believe we offer an excellent product and service.

 

In order to ensure high quality herbs they are handled only once, cut directly into punnets, chilled and dispatched cool chain.  We aim to be the freshest on the market.

 

We have several depots throughout the UK.  Please click here to see a map of their locations.
