The group consists of three experienced growers, who farm between Truro and Land's End. All three growers are members of F.W.A.G (Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group); and of the Farm Assured Produce Scheme.

Daffodil growing is an historic crop in Cornwall, where the mild climate has resulted in the bulbs having a reputation for vigour, early flowering, quality and colour. This has led to Cornwall becoming one of the major production areas for daffodils and narcissi in the world. The crop provides local employment in an area of high unemployment. It forms an integral part of mixed farming, maintaining hedgerows and headland habitats.  A national haulier with a local depot is used providing a multi-drop service with careful route-planning and back-loads for efficient fuel usage.

Our growers include:
