Ireland

As the warm Gulf Stream sweeps in from the Atlantic Ocean to the South-West of Ireland it protects the area from severe frosts and provides unique climatic advantages that are ideal for foliage production. The area has a relatively even temperature range and over 2000mm of rain per annum. This is ideal for lush, long and fresh foliage's! The soils in the area are high in organic matter and have not been abused due to traditionally low intensity farming. Through our own production and our network of dedicated growers, we now have 100 acres in the ground split between HQ in Kerry and our Wexford farm. As part of our commitment to reducing our chemical usage we moved our production to a bed based system in 2015. All plants are now planted into a biodegradable fabric that protects them from weeds in the first 4-5 years. This has led to a 70% reduction in chemical use and allowed our production teams a more manageable maintenance program .

Italy

We have 25 acres of Eucalyptus planted in Calabria, Italy. After many years of trialling we are sure that the South of Italy produces the best quality Eucalyptus in the world. It also has a much longer season than the rest of Europe and we feel so strong on this we decided to take on 25 more acres in 2017.

Growers

We work closely with a network of growers across Europe who share our commitment to Quality, Consistency, Innovation and Sustainability. Every week we are supplying product from Portugal, Italy, Holland and Denmark to our customers across Europe. Every year we supply over 40 million stems of foliage to markets in the U.K., Holland and the greater EU.
