Two of Scotland’s longest established fresh produce organisations, East of Scotland Growers (ESG) and R&K Drysdales, have completed a merger and created an additional growing business, Pease Bay Farms.
ESG is a farmer-owned cooperative with its main offices based in Cupar. The collective of 15 growers produces vegetable crops, including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, carrots, onions and asparagus. The members’ farms are based in Fife, Angus, Perthshire, Kincardinshire and the Borders – producing more than 6,000 acres of Scottish brassicas.
RKD is the UK’s largest Brussels sprout grower and packer, with one of the high output grading, packing and storage facilities in Europe. In addition to sprouts, RKD also grows and packs swede and leeks at facilities in Berwickshire.
