Isleham Fresh Produce (IFP) was formed in June 2000 through the merger of Isleham Carrot Growers and Russell Burgess (Vegetable Division): although the business can readily trace its history back more than 60 years through its growers and partners.
The merger of both thriving businesses created a pool of experts able to focus on R and D opportunities, and create considerable savings through economies of scale.
IFP specialises in the production and marketing of root vegetables, principally carrots and parsnips. We are also regarded as an industry leader in the supply of fresh bunched beetroot and carrots along with speciality varieties such as Chantenay, Mignon, Autumn King and Golden Beetroot.
