When you’re walking through the supermarket, checking where your tomatoes were grown might seem like a small decision. But choosing British-grown tomatoes can have benefits that go far beyond your dinner plate.
At R & L Holt, we’re proud to be part of the British tomato-growing industry and of the work that goes into producing fresh, quality tomatoes here in the UK.
Supporting British Growers
Choosing British produce helps support growers, employees and businesses working throughout the UK food and farming industry.
Behind every crop are people working every day to care for plants, manage growing environments, harvest produce and ensure it reaches customers at the quality they expect.
Choosing British-grown products is a simple way consumers can support that work.
A Shorter Journey
British tomatoes don’t need to travel across continents before reaching UK supermarket shelves.
A shorter journey from grower to retailer can mean tomatoes reach shoppers quickly after harvest, helping customers enjoy them while they’re still wonderfully fresh.
Celebrating Seasonal British Produce
Eating with the seasons is also a fantastic way to appreciate produce when it’s abundant and at its best.
Summer is a particularly exciting time for tomato lovers. From salads and sandwiches to BBQ dishes, pasta, pizzas and fresh salsas, there are endless opportunities to put tomatoes on the menu.
Look for British
Next time you’re doing your weekly shop, take a moment to check the label and see where your tomatoes were grown.
Choosing British might feel like one small decision, but those decisions collectively help support the future of British growing.
We’re incredibly proud of the care that goes into our tomatoes at R & L Holt and even prouder to see British produce being enjoyed by families across the country.
