🌟 Welcome to Meaningful May 2024!
Let's embrace this month with positivity, compassion, and intention. Here's how we are making May more meaningful:

🌿 Reconnect with Nature
Spending more time outdoors, whether it's a hike, a walk in the park, or just enjoying the fresh air.

🤝 Practice Kindness
Random acts of kindness every day—compliments, helping out a neighbour, or volunteering for a local cause.

📚 Learn Something New
Picking up a new hobby, reading a book, or exploring an interesting topic.

🧘 Focus on Well-Being
Committing to daily meditation, exercise, or mindfulness practices to maintain balance.

💬 Strengthen Relationships
Reaching out to family and friends, and making time for meaningful conversations.

🧹 Declutter and Organize
Clearing out the old to make room for the new, both physically and mentally.

✨Express Gratitude
Keeping a gratitude journal and sharing what I'm thankful for with others.

Let's make May a month filled with purpose and positivity. What are your plans for a more meaningful month?

Neep, Tumshie, Baigie, Rutabaga ... whatever you call them, a squished swede is key to any Burns Night Supper ..... Sláinte Mhath! For anyone wondering, that is pronounced "Slanj Uh-Va". No, I don't know how you get Uh-Va from 'Mhath' either .....

What a year its been... and we'll do it all again in 2023. To all of our staff, our customers, our growers and our social media followers, we wish you a safe and happy hogmanay and all the very best for the coming year.

So who cooked too many brussels? Who cooked too many carrots? Who has left over roasties? Maybe a little broccoli? You know what to do!

Have you had your Christmas Dinner yet? We hope the vegetables were cooked to perfection! Now its time to relax. See you tomorrow!

Our Story

Kettle Produce Ltd was established in 1985 by two farming families from Fife, Scotland. KPL has vast experience in vegetable production and has partnerships with over 50 farmers growing approximately 2,500 hectares of vegetable and salad crops across Scotland. Our four main product groups are, brassicas, salads and prepared vegetables.

The supply of vegetables from KPLisn’t confined to Scotland. In 2003, Kettle Produce Espána SL was formed as a joint venture based in Murcia, Spain. There are also several strategic supply partnerships with major growers in England, France, Spain and Portugal. In total, there are over 6,000 hectares of crops grown across the UK and Continental Europe.

Kettle Produce Ltd has two main sites of production, Balmalcolm and Orkie which are located two miles apart. The Balmalcolm site operations include Brassicas, salads and prepared vegetables and is also the centre for the administrative function. The Orkie site incorporates all root washing, grading and packing as well as a recently added prepared vegetable facility.
