When it's time to harvest our cauliflower, it's cut in the field by the hands of our experienced harvesters. It's then taken back to our HQ 🚜 and packed (in recyclable packaging ♻️), before making its way to stores across Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and then hopefully onto your dinner table 💚🍴

BioAtlantis gave a lecture describing how Super Fifty® enhances crop tolerance to oxidative and abiotic stress. The talk took place at the Center of Plant Systems Biology & Biotechnology, Bulgaria (EU H2020 ‘CropStrengthen’ Project; 29/09/17). cpsbb.eu/news/plant-inno-wor…
Things are looking good at the @wcmpots field day - let’s hope the rain holds off.
