Isleham Fresh Produce (IFP) was formed in June 2000 through the merger of Isleham Carrot Growers and Russell Burgess (Vegetable Division): although the business can readily trace its history back more than 60 years through its growers and partners.
The merger of both thriving businesses created a pool of experts able to focus on R and D opportunities, and create considerable savings through economies of scale.
IFP specialises in the production and marketing of root vegetables, principally carrots and parsnips. We are also regarded as an industry leader in the supply of fresh bunched beetroot and carrots along with speciality varieties such as Chantenay, Mignon, Autumn King and Golden Beetroot.
This years event has been described by LEAF as “the best yet!”. Over 400 farmers across the country opened up and early reports indicate that nearly 150,000 members of the public visited a local farm on 1st June. A full report will be issued by LEAF later in the year…but in the meantime here is our very own Produce World report. As proud sponsors of the 2008 Open Farm Sunday event I would like to share with everyone the day’s successes, and give a great BIG thank you to everyone who took part…THANK YOU!.
Produce World Ltd, currently growing and marketing organic and conventional fresh produce, has acquired Marshalls Holdings Ltd, a group of companies that includes Marshall Bros (Butterwick) Ltd and a 76% holding in Agromark SA, in a deal agreed and completed last night.
