We grow in purpose builts, gravel-lined beds that are fed with only natural spring water from the underground aquifers on our farm.

Through the freshest water and the power from the sun, our watercress is supercharged with nutrients, making it a fantastic superfood.

Watercress has been a firm favourite across the UK since Victorian times, when it was still harvested by hand.

If you are looking to have fresh, Dorset and Hampshire watercress on offer to your customers, look no further!

How we grow OUR watercress:

At the start of the new season, we clear out the beds from last year, washing and brushing each one to remove any roots.

We line the beds with gravel, by hand!

Water is added on top, giving the team a chance to see which spots need to be levelled out – it’s crucial that the crop grows evenly across the beds. It’s highly skilled work that takes years to perfect. Now they are ready for seed...

We now pre-germinate the seed in liquid BEFORE we add it to the beds. The little roots sink down into the gravel and give us a really good coverage – best of all, it’s peat-free & natural.

Once the watercress seedlings are happy and settled into the beds it takes around 5-6 weeks to grow until ready for harvest. We can get several crops from the beds, a regrowth harvest can be ready in just over 3 weeks.

We vacuum cool our harvested watercress which takes it from 20°C to 2°C in roughly 15 minutes. This is the perfect temperature for it to stay healthy while we wrap it, ready to send to its final destination!

We don't use peat compost for a number of reasons; mainly the use of peat is not sustainable, plus we think heating propagation units is a waste of energy.

If you find the odd flower in watercress they are perfectly edible & delicately peppery... they also look great added to a salad!

Traditional Speciality Guarantee

We were proud to be named the first watercress growers in the UK to be granted Traditional Specialty Guarantee (TSG) status in 2022.

What is Traditional Speciality Guarantee?

The TSG scheme is in place to recognise and preserve the traditional methods and ingredients of food production. This helps to promote authenticity and long-standing practices that have been delivering exceptional quality food for many years. It defines a number of characteristics used to identify a product or ingredient in its traditional form.

What does this mean for our watercress?

Simply put, it means we can proudly market our wonderful watercress as just that, watercress! The product specification for watercress now stipulates that it must refer to Nasturtium officinale seed, which is grown in flowing water and anchored by its roots in specially constructed beds with stable conditions.

It is harvested directly from the water, with 3 - 11 oblong to oval leaflets that are shiny, dark green, rounded at the tip, smooth without teeth or with wavy toothed margins. Although there may be some variation, generally the colour is green or dark green.
