The Lyttle family have been growing vegetables around the shores of Strangford lough on the Ards Peninsula for over thirty-five years.
The primary crop in the summer is Spring Onions (Scallions) and for ten months of the year, is Leeks. These are grown, harvested, prepared and packed and finally delivered to client specification.
Parsley and Herb Celery, (or Soup Celery) are also grown for processors who produce washed and chopped soup vegetables and ready-made soups supplied to the major multiples across the UK.
They have recently extended this range to include beetroot and Coleslaw Cabbage.
They also grow a range of organic vegetables, including Cabbages and Leeks, as well as Purple Sprouting Broccoli.
Since 2017 they have been growing Organic Potatoes for independent retailers and box schemes. They are working to extend the season of availability of supply to reduce imports because consumers are becoming increasingly supportive of local producers.”
