Heating
Renewable woodchip biomass provides reliable, low-carbon heat for our glasshouses, reducing reliance on fossil fuels while maintaining consistent growing conditions.
Power
Our electricity is supplied through a low-carbon mix of certified renewable energy and nuclear power, helping keep emissions down without compromising reliability.
Water
Rainwater is captured on site and reused for irrigation, allowing us to grow efficiently while reducing demand on mains water.
Sustainability
Our recipe for sustainable success blends long-term thinking, smart technology, and a focus on growing great-tasting tomatoes the right way.
What We Do
We are a family-run tomato producer specialising in high-quality, sustainably grown crops.
By combining modern glasshouse technology with decades of growing experience, we create the ideal conditions for flavour, freshness, and reliability. From planting through to harvest, we take care at every stage to ensure our tomatoes meet the standards our customers expect.
Our approach is simple. We grow delicious tomatoes, the right way.
Our Tomatoes
We grow a focused range of tomato varieties selected for consistency, quality, and reliability. Each crop is produced in carefully controlled conditions, harvested at peak maturity, and handled with care to protect appearance, flavour, and shelf life — ensuring dependable performance from glasshouse to shelf.
Flavour First
Our focus is on speciality tomato varieties chosen for taste, texture, and appearance rather than volume. Each crop is given the time and conditions it needs to develop full, natural flavour.
Consistency
Carefully controlled glasshouse environments allow us to maintain uniformity from plant to plant and harvest to harvest. Balanced nutrition and stable growing conditions deliver tomatoes that look great and perform consistently.
Quality
From harvest through to delivery, every step is designed to protect quality. The result is tomatoes with dependable shelf life, strong presentation, and flavour customers can trust season after season.
Growing Responsibly
Responsibility & Standards
Responsibility underpins everything we do — from how we grow our tomatoes to how we support our people and deliver quality to our customers. Clear standards guide our decisions and define how we operate across the business. By setting consistent expectations for food safety, environmental care, and ethical conduct, we maintain accountability at every level and ensure our approach remains responsible, transparent, and aligned with customer expectations and long-term business resilience.
Food Safety & Assurance
Food safety and quality are managed through robust, HACCP-based controls applied at every stage of production. We operate to strict standards covering seed selection, nutrition, crop protection, irrigation, and environmentally responsible growing practices. Our nursery is independently assured through Red Tractor and LEAF Marque certification, and we are Sedex registered and ETI Base Code compliant, reflecting our commitment to safe, ethical, and responsibly produced food.
Growing Systems & Environmental Care
Our glasshouses use advanced growing systems designed to maximise efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Resistant varieties, biological controls, and pheromones help protect crops while limiting the need for chemical intervention. Precision hydroponic systems allow accurate control of water and nutrition, while tailored feeding programmes support up to 60,000 plants each season, delivering consistency, flavour, and reliable crop performance.
People, Training & Ethical Labour
Our people and processes are central to our success. Ongoing training ensures our teams remain aligned with best practice, innovation, and safe working methods. Clear procedures support consistency across operations, while full traceability systems allow every product to be tracked from plant to dispatch. During peak periods, we work exclusively with GLAA-licensed labour providers, ensuring fair treatment, ethical recruitment, and responsible labour practices across our supply chain.
Sustainability
Built In
Sustainability is built into how we operate, not added on afterwards.
We design our growing systems to use resources efficiently, manage water responsibly, and protect crops naturally. We continue to invest in practices that reduce our environmental impact while maintaining high production standards.
Our commitment is supported by independent certification and regular audits, giving our customers confidence in how their food is produced.
Doing More With Less
Turning that thinking into action means constant investment in technology and innovation.
Our glasshouses are designed to maximise efficiency, using precision hydroponic systems to deliver exactly what each plant needs while minimising waste.
Low-carbon energy underpins the operation. Rainwater is captured and reused for irrigation, renewable electricity supplies power, and woodchip biomass provides heat — reducing reliance on fossil fuels while maintaining the stable growing conditions needed to produce vibrant, flavour-packed British tomatoes.
Working With Nature
Supporting Biodiversity
Biodiversity is actively encouraged across our site. Wildflower meadows provide habitats for bees and butterflies, while bird boxes, bat roosts, and an owl nesting area support local wildlife and create a healthier surrounding environment.
Natural Growing Systems
Inside the glasshouse, nature plays an equally important role. Native bumblebees pollinate our crops, supported by biological controls and pheromones that form part of our Integrated Pest Management approach.
Better for Crops & Environment
By working with beneficial insects rather than relying on chemicals, we reduce pesticide use, protect the environment, and maintain crop quality — proving that commercial growing and nature can work in balance.
Our Story
Our story starts in Sicily, where our family first learned that good food begins with care for the land. That philosophy still underpins everything we do.
In 1977, the business took shape in the UK, supplying fresh produce to London’s markets from the heart of the Lea Valley. Opportunity drove growth, and in 1993 we made a defining move to the East Riding of Yorkshire — a step that transformed the scale and direction of the business.
As demand increased, so did ambition. Over time, the operation grew into one of the UK’s leading fresh produce suppliers, running large-scale glasshouse production and serving customers nationwide.
The next chapter was about focus. With third-generation leadership, the business made a deliberate decision to specialise — narrowing its attention to tomatoes and doing them exceptionally well.
Today, we operate a sixteen-acre, high-tech glasshouse dedicated entirely to speciality tomatoes for the UK market. Using modern hydroponic systems, we deliver consistent quality and flavour throughout the British growing season.
While the business has evolved, our values haven’t. We remain family-run, driven by skilled people, long-term relationships, and a commitment to doing things properly — building a business designed to last.
Interested in joining the team?
Our business depends on the people who work with us.
