BROCCOLI CRISPS β FIFE'S NEXT BIG THING?
A Fife broccoli crisps manufacturer is set for significant growth as it enters major supermarket chains.
Growers Garden, based in Cupar, produces flavoured broccoli crisps from locally-sourced βwonkyβ vegetables that would otherwise go to waste.
The product is poised to enter more of the βBig Sixβ supermarkets later this year, having secured Β£510,000 funding from HSBC UK.
The money will be used to increase the storage capacity three-fold, allowing the facility to accommodate the half-a-million units of stock necessary to supply its new supermarket customers.
Additionally, the existing facilities in Cupar will undergo modifications to streamline the process of directly supplying products to the retail giants.
Growers Garden is a collective of 16 farming families in the east of Scotland united by a passion for farm sustainability and responsibly.
Martin Peel (pictured), Managing Director at Growers Garden, said: βWeβve made the ambitious and exciting step to getting our products in supermarkets across the UK, thanks to HSBC UKβs support and clear passion for Scottish agriculture.
βWeβre very excited to be working towards significant growth as a business focused on reducing food waste and encouraging healthy eating through locally sourced ingredients.β
