The Lizard Leaf Company Ltd
Your local specialty babyleaf salad growers in Cornwall.
|
|
LOCAL All our produce is grown at Gear Farm, St Martin on the Lizard Peninsular in West Cornwall. |
|
|
FLAVOUR The great flavour of our babyleaf salad leaves comes from growing varieties which we have selected for their great flavour rather than for their abilities to perform in areas such as yield or uniformity. |
|
|
|
|
FRESHNESS All our leaves are refrigerated on site to between 3-5 degrees centigrade immediately after cutting and where possible we aim to harvest and deliver on the same day so our produce is always really fresh. All our salad leaves are supplied unwashed to preserve maximum freshness and natural keeping qualities. |
|
|
SPECIALIST Babyleaf salad production is our speciality and we are a small family run enterprise that can offer a friendly, personalised and accurate service to all our customers throughout the season |

FOOD MILES All our salad leaves are grown in Cornwall and we supply our local Cornish fruit and vegetable wholesalers who sell and distribute our products for us. This reduces food miles to a minimum. |
