Growing Method

Sweetcorn is grown outdoors, which means that the plants grow directly in the soil, without the protection of greenhouses or tunnels. This method of cultivation ensures that the maize can optimally absorb the natural nutrients from the soil, resulting in juicy and flavourful cobs. The outdoor process requires more care and attention from our growers, but the end result is a delicious and healthy product we are proud of.
