At Vitacress, we take great pride in being one of Europe’s leading suppliers of watercress, leafy salads, spinach and fresh herbs. Grown from our farms in the UK, Portugal and Spain, and from our glasshouses in the UK, we work together to produce fresh leafy salads and herbs – all year round. We started in 1951 with ambition, determination and 1 precious acre of watercress beds in Alresford, Hampshire. Our people are expert growers and we supply both own-label branded products to major supermarkets across Europe as well as our own premium quality SEASON herbs and prepared salad bags, Steve’s Leaves, directly to the consumer. We are proud of being at the forefront of food innovation, always developing ways to make our premium product tastier whilst ensuring we produce a great quality and sustainable product. We believe in creating an environment where people are valued and listened to. Where you can grow your skills. Where support and opportunities enable you to flourish. We are one team with a shared vision: to grow ourselves, our business and leave things better than we found them. We work towards this together. 1,500 people work together across the UK, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands to produce our premium produce from farm to fork. Collectively, our expert growers have over 400 years of experience between them. We're looking for people who can bring a diversity of thinking to enhance our expertise and passion.
