At Cottage Farms, we aim to be the packing partner of choice for our customers. We're proud to have excellent relationships and strive to exceed targets and go above and beyond in understanding needs and delivering on best quality and price.
Retail
We have a long-standing relationship with Tesco, the UK’s biggest grocery brand. We currently pack over 360 million apples and pears for them annually. We strive to meet the specific demands of our customers by working collaboratively and finding agile ways to problem solve and innovate. We are completely focused on the key areas of optimising fruit yield and reducing food waste.
Our Growers
We have close links to our growers and suppliers, whether based in Kent or as far away as New Zealand, they provide us with the best, freshest fruit and we ripen and pack it in the most efficient way possible. We work collaboratively to get the best margins for everyone. The growers’ organisation Allied Growers is based on our site, and we work together continuously looking at ways to increase yield and margin.
Wholesale
Through our wide range of current customers, we have access to numerous wholesale and secondary markets. This allows us to supply a full range of sizes and quality of fruits. Our customers include local companies, fruit importers and famous London markets such as Covent Garden or Spitalfields.
Processing
We’ve hooked up with top juicing bar brand Joe & the Juice – their juices and shakes are made by hand in store using apples we’ve packed at our facility in Kent. We’re also proud to provide apples to the award-winning local juice brand Owlet.
