The essence of quality: at the source.

When dealing with perishable goods, quality begins at the source. Planters and growers are carefully vetted in terms of expertise, experience, reliability and continuity. Particular attention is given to the use of fertilisers, additives and pesticides, and to sustainability. We expect all our suppliers to agree in writing to our strict procedure descriptions and business ethic. In return, we offer continuity in business as long as standards are met.

 

Next, we check handling procedures in picking, selecting, storing, packaging and shipping produce from source to warehouse. Temperature and pest control, quality control at every stage and strict adherence to advanced standards of hygiene are required of all suppliers, including those in countries accustomed to less stringent procedures.
