Established in the 1940’s M Leggate and Sons have been growing on the silts of South Lincolnshire for over 80 years. Today the farm grows in a sustainable and responsible way, always trying to minimise our impact on the environment. We have adapted our system to grow larger sized brassicas to ensure we maximise yield. The crops we grow are Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbages and Kales. We have chosen to farm sustainable manner meaning that our rotation is longer than most in the brassica industry which we believe provides benefits over the long term.
We have specialised in the preparation and processing of fresh brassicas. We believe we have one of the most advanced and efficient brassica preparation facilities in the UK. We have invested heavily in recent years and have been involved in the development of unique preparation equipment used only by M Leggate and Sons. This has allowed us to prepare and supply the vegetables to our customers specifications. We have developed several proprietary precision techniques meaning we can prepare brassicas to distinct specification, including cauliflower florets, broccoli florets, sliced cabbages and sliced kale. We are also able to offer all prepared produce in sealed bags.
We have facilities that enable us to supply and pack brassicas to our customers specification and into their own packaging. We believe our wealth of experience means we can offer market leading value and quality. We have specialised our farming system with it tailored towards growing larger produce, suitable for larger sized retail or food service. All our prepared produce is available in sealed food grade retail bags. We produce a large amount of renewable energy helping to reduce our impact on the environment and helping to reduce our cost base. Please contact us for more information.
We deliver value by constantly reviewing our processes and challenging the status quo, because it works today can we do it better tomorrow? Our focus on innovation, technology and our appetite for knowledge is part of our culture. Our focus on yield and quality lead to us being able to offer great value.
Our experience growing crops in UK, combined with long lasting relationships we have built with our growers based in Spain, France, Suffolk and Cornwall mean our customers can be confident in continuity of supply all year round.
Our constant focus on quality from varietal selection, disease forecasting and precision farming techniques are all part of a prophylactic approach to maintaining quality. Our staff ensure that quality is maintained from planting through to harvest, processing and dispatch
We have unified several processes within the supply chain to offer better value, control of quality and food security. Our ability to pack processed and ready prepared brassicas makes us unique in the industry. Our specialist floret and slicing lines are some of the most advanced in the UK. In 2018 we moved into a brand new BRC accredited purpose built factory.
