Linwood Crops operates within every sector of the fresh potato supply chain, offering full crop traceability from seed to shelf, field to freezer, and plough to plate.
We work with experienced and professional growers nationwide, who produce quality potatoes every year, grown specifically and conditioned for the intended purpose.
Our primary suppliers are either Red Tractor (UK) or GlobalGAP compliant. Many of our growers are also LEAF Marque, Nurture, and Field to Fork accredited. We check the status of the grower at the time of loading, and every load arrives with a potato passport, as well as crop records, offering full traceability.
The broad geographical spread of our grower base keeps miles to market to a minimum and reduces potential weather impacts when loading from the field.
Unless specifically requested, we don’t sell by variety, we sell by TASTE and PURPOSE. Experience has taught us that great taste does not come down to just the variety, but the correct conditioning; balancing sugar versus starch levels, temperatures and soil types.
