TWC complete their annual FWAG biodiversity action plan.
Each year we update our biodiversity plan with the local team of the Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG).
This provides an opportunity for us to review our existing performance from previous years plans and set new projects and initiatives to support our local habitat on and surrounding our farms.
Full traceability is available on all watercress grown by The Watercress Company so look out for this unique product in the fresh produce aisle in your local Waitrose store – 85g & 170g.
TIM's UPDATE - 10/09/2008
Summer seems to be officially over but fortunately watercress just keeps on growing. We are now approaching the final two months of UK watercress production and preparation is being made overseas to get our Spanish farms ready for winter production. In the winter months watercress grows 3-4 times slower than in the summer and often quality is an issue, so for the last 20 something years we have been bringing in our watercress from our farms in Spain too. In the next update I will write with Damien our Spanish production manager so he can update you with his thoughts too.
If you would like to know more about some of the problems we face each day trying to keep your watercress in good condition please feel free to use our feedback page and ask Tim a question.
