About the Company
Our story began in 1976, when Peter Barfoot, a fifth-generation farmer, started growing a single crop in the unique microclimate of the Hampshire Basin. We are still a family-owned business, but we now sustainably grow, prepare and deliver exceptional fresh sweetcorn and speciality vegetables at farms and facilities around the world. We’ve pioneered the supply of many semi-exotic vegetables to the UK. Our customers include the major supermarkets and leading national restaurant chains. We strive to deliver new and exciting ways for consumers to enjoy vegetables that are produced as sustainably as possible. Our founder, Peter Barfoot, has been awarded a CBE for Services to Sustainable Farming and his philosophy remains at the heart of all we do “Look after the land like you are going to farm forever”.
