From Field to Fork: How We Bring Fresh Brassica Produce to UK Tables

At Lincolnshire Field Products (LFP), we’re proud to be one of the UK’s leading growers and suppliers of fresh vegetables. From deep alluvial silt soil to supermarket shelves, our journey is carefully managed every step of the way to ensure that the produce arriving at your table is fresh, full of flavour, and responsibly grown.

In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of our field-to-fork process — showing how we turn nature’s raw ingredients into top-quality produce trusted by our customers including UK retailers, food service, processors and our export partners.

1. It Starts with the Soil

Our journey begins in the fertile fields of South Lincolnshire, where we grow a wide range of seasonal crops including cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, curly kale and cabbage. We work closely with our agronomy team to ensure that our soils remain healthy and productive year after year, through sustainable practices such as crop rotation and minimal tillage.

Our fields are strategically selected for their suitability to each crop, maximising both yield and quality.

2. Grown with Care, Harvested at Peak Freshness

Timing is everything when it comes to harvesting. Our crops are carefully monitored throughout the growing season, and harvesting is timed to ensure peak freshness and flavour.

We use a combination of precision technology and experienced harvesting teams to pick our vegetables at just the right moment. From hand-harvesting to mechanised systems, we tailor our approach to each crop’s specific needs.

3. Expert Packing and Cold Chain Integrity

Once harvested, produce is transported swiftly to our on-site packing facilities. Here, it is cooled, cleaned, graded, and packed under tightly controlled conditions to preserve quality.

Our facilities operate with robust cold chain logistics, ensuring minimal time between harvest and dispatch. This rapid turnaround helps lock in freshness and prolong shelf life, while maintaining food safety and traceability standards.

4. Logistics That Keep Things Moving

We supply some of the UK’s largest retailers and foodservice providers, which means getting fresh produce from our fields and packhouse to store shelves quickly and efficiently is critical.

Our logistics network operates daily, with produce distributed directly to depots across the UK and Europe. Every shipment is tracked and documented to guarantee full traceability — so our customers can be confident in the journey of every product.

5. Trusted by UK Retailers

Thanks to our consistent quality, reliability, and commitment to responsible farming, we’re proud to be long-standing partners with many of the UK’s major supermarkets. We work collaboratively with our retail customers to meet demand, reduce waste, and stay aligned with evolving consumer expectations.

From Our Fields to Your Fork

Bringing fresh produce to UK tables isn’t just our job — it’s our passion. At Lincolnshire Field Products, we take pride in every part of the journey, from the first seed planted in Lincolnshire soil to the final product on your plate.

By combining traditional farming values with modern technology and sustainable thinking, we’re helping to shape a resilient, responsible food supply chain for the future.
