Meet our growers
Meet the people who lovingly tend to Tenderstem® here in Ireland as they explain what makes this versatile veg so special.
Richard Moore, Managing Director of Global Fresh Exotics
"We’re delighted to represent Tenderstem® in Ireland. We have big ambitions for this mighty vegetable, programming crops both here in Ireland with our fantastic local growers and product sourced from licensed growers internationally, delivering a consistent high-quality product all year round. As our team here at GFE celebrate 25 years in the Irish market, we look forward to continued growth with Tenderstem® as a key element of our fresh produce portfolio."
Chris Keane, proud owner of Millview Farm, North County Dublin
"On our 250-acre farm we grow a mix of brassica crops including, of course, Tenderstem®. Tenderstem® is a specialist crop that requires extra care and attention. We walk the crop every day and harvest twice a day to ensure its freshness. The flavour of Tenderstem® broccoli differs from standard broccoli, it has a much sweeter and nuttier taste - it’s actually become my kids’ favourite vegetable. We grow Tenderstem® exclusively for Global Fresh Exotics and we’re so delighted to see it on shelf. We’re looking forward to continuing to grow this great partnership in the years to come."
