UK beetroot supplier
Precision-grown beetroot from our Herefordshire farm
Beetroot is one of the newest additions to our rotation at Ditton Farm, but it’s already earned us a national reputation. As a UK beetroot supplier, we work closely with food brands, packers, and processors who rely on consistent size, colour, and quality.
Grown on light, well-drained soils across our Herefordshire blocks, this crop is managed with precision from seed to harvest. Using GPS-guided drills, targeted nutrition, and staggered harvesting windows, we produce precision-grown beetroot that meets the demands of modern processing, without compromising on flavour or appearance.
A Valuable Rotational Asset
UK’s largest packers, household brands, and picklers
We grow beetroot under contract for selected UK partners, including Baxters. Using bed-forming, precision seeding and controlled irrigation, we deliver consistent, market-grade root structure.
Our focus is on:
• Uniform root size
• Deep colour
• Skin quality
• Consistent sweetness and storage stability
We adjust our drill setup by centring the staggered head and reducing planting on outer rows to improve light penetration and side-crop quality. Reliable water storage is essential for consistent beetroot growth and finish throughout the season. The full crop utilised from 25mm–100mm, minimising waste (25mm used for pickling). Ensuring nothing goes to waste
