Description

Wirral watercress established in 2005, is based in Children Thornton.  Peter Jones has a passion for producing high quality products – watercress, rocket, broad beans, runner beans, squash, courgettes and leeks.  Peter is always willing to experiment with exciting new crops, which we in turn sell to our customers.  He now produces ‘micro herbs’ which are becoming more and more popular.

Wirral watercress is very popular with many of the restaurants we supply and is even a firm favourite with our tortoise, Trigger!
