SUNBEAM WATERCRESS

• 01290 - Growing of other perennial crops

Sunbeam Watercress remains a family run business that aims to produce the highest quality watercress consistently for 52 weeks of the year. Our watercress is grown and matured to perfection in beautiful natural chalk spring water, giving it a strong, unique peppery taste... Sunbeam Watercress has been trading since 1934 when Ivor Noble purchased Manor Farm with a small area of existing watercress beds. Having a good supply of natural chalk spring water, Ivor decided to develop watercress production on a larger scale to supply local greengrocers, catering, shipping and wholesale markets across the country. The area under cultivation was increased in stages firstly by widening existing beds and then excavating new areas adjacent to the existing beds to a total of 7 acres by 1955.
