GROWERS

Growing for over 70 years.

Established in the 1940’s M Leggate and Sons have been growing on the silts of South Lincolnshire for over 70 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.

PREPARATION

Vegetable preparation specialists

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.
