East of Scotland Growers is a farmer-owned cooperative based in Cupar. Their main crops are Broccoli and Cauliflower along with a wider range of vegetable crops produced in fertile Scottish soils over a 180 mile radius. Established in 1987, the cooperative’s purpose is to provide the individual grower with the benefits of being part of a larger group, allowing all members to grow together for the future. To this day the ESG team is still focused on achieving its founding aim by providing the maximum return to grower. They share premises with their new venture: the Growers’ Garden. Essentially, the company is “a bunch of mates (who all happen to be farmers), that decided to do things differently“. The families involved have been living and farming field-by-field in the East of Scotland countryside for generations. Prepping, planting, and harvesting, season-in and season-out. They celebrate the good times and have stuck together in the tough ones. In between time spent in ‘converted barn nightclubs‘ and ‘combine-harvester racing‘, they landed on an idea: supporting sustainable farming by turning their very own fresh vegetables into “awesome healthy snacks” that people really want to eat. A sustainable snack – the perfect idea to bring together their love for both the environment and food (especially crisps!). Need more?
