Meet our family

We are part of a large family, collaborating closely across various areas of expertise. Meet our family members.

Founded in 1951 with watercress beds, from which Vitacress takes its name, the company has since expanded its range to include leafy salads and fresh herbs. Vitacress Herbs is UK’s market leader in both fresh-cut and potted herbs.

In Portugal Vitacress is the market leader in fresh herbs, baby leaves, watercress, leafy salads and vegetables, supplying this produce under its own Vitacress brand to major retailers.

Gipmans specialises in the production of vegetable plants and potted herbs. From its cultivation site in Venlo, it produces 20 million organic potted herbs annually.

Along with 42 other growers (vegetables, fruit and herbs) we are part of the growers’ association Fossa Eugenia.

And as the final family member, we proudly present our own herb brand: Vitalicious! At Vitalicious, we are passionate about fresh herbs and are dedicated to sharing this love with as many people as possible. Pure green happiness! Ready to embark on a love affair?
