About Us

The Flavourfresh Family

Flavourfresh originated in 1997 and is a privately-owned multi-award winning, commercial fresh produce business, with its main site in Southport, Lancashire.

Specialising in growing Tomatoes, Strawberries and introducing in 2019, Blackberries, the company operates across three sites under 17.3 hectares of glass.

At Melrow, the Flavourfresh focus is purely on the production of premium top-tier tomatoes. Operations at Hundred End are dedicated to production of our impressive berries and the Aldergrove site has a split focus on both berry and tomato finery.

All our strawberries are grown under glass, extending the UK season with early Spring and late Autumn fruit.
