Types of peas
Garden Pea
These are high-quality, smaller peas (small to medium in terms of sieve size) of the highest tenderness rating. Yes, tenderness has a rating! Once harvested, they are frozen in less than 150 minutes, to ensure that when they reach the plate they’re as tender as when first shelled.
Mini Garden Peas
Slightly smaller than our Garden Peas and also frozen within 150 minutes of harvest, keeping them succulent with their freshness locked in.
Economy
Larger peas, usually of grades B, C or D in tenderness.

Our growing ethos
Delicious and nutritious
Our aim is to produce the most delicious and nutritious peas we can, so quality is everything. We are fastidious in our farming – working with the best of nature, and using exacting modern techniques and technology to ensure that what we grow is the best in the country.
From the very start, we give our peas the best possible chance to thrive.
We carefully select the right soils with excellent drainage and plan exactly how many seeds to sow, making sure every plant has the room and conditions it needs to grow well. We also rotate our crops season by season to keep the soil healthy and disease-free.
Quality isn't just something we aim for, it's something we track every step of the way.
From choosing the right seeds to the moment our peas reach you, every stage is fully traceable and quality-checked. This means we can guarantee consistently excellent peas, grown and delivered exactly to our customers' requirements.
Our peas are grown in harmony with the seasons, to the highest industry standards.
Sowing begins as early as February and continues through to May, with harvesting taking place between June and August depending on the weather that year. Tenderness and quality are measured using industry-recognised tenderometer readings, so you can always trust what's in your bowl.
