A Farmers Dream Crop

Wed 29th Febuary We visited Koppert Cress Monster


Yes with a name like that it had me enthralled to, it is in fact a company that grows an amazing array of cress. Did you know that you can get cress and other herbs that taste like honey, mustard, chilli, and oysters among many others.

Yes this is all cress.

Cress must be a farmers dream crop with a window of five days from planting to harvest and sale.

 The huge array of different flavours of cress that this company produces and markets direct to chefs

Owner Rob Baan has travelled the world looking for plants with different flavors. He has a real passion for helping people to discover real food again instead of processed packaged food. He has a motto that if your grandma would not recognise a product as food you should think twice about eating it
