We currently harvest and supply over 40 varieties of graded stems to our diversified customer base. These are harvested from woodland sites in the South of Ireland and Northern England along with the over 250 acres of cultivated foliages grown mainly in Kerry and Wexford in southern Ireland.
We have embarked on a program of expanding the cultivated foliage range to 700 acres plus over the next 5 years. This expansion is been supported by a significant research and development program to support us in bringing commercial volumes, of top quality, innovative foliages to the market.
We have also embarked on a program of sourcing and harvesting foliages outside of Ireland. We have now opened a base in Kirkharle in Northern England where we currently harvesting rhododendron and salal. We have visited several other operators and production areas in Europe and are reviewing our options in expanding there.
The relative freedom from severe frosts and cold winds means growth starts earlier and continues late into the year leading to rapid growth rates. Longer and fuller stems.
Ireland Ideal for Foliage Production
The South West area has a very high annual rainfall 2000 mm which makes it ideal for lush green and fresher foliages.
Excellent soils not abused because of traditionally low intensity farming.
No pollution – most westerly part of Europe.
Very close to the market – 1 to 2 day’s from order receipt and low carbon footprint.
