Support British growers: look out for British toms in a supermarket near you
Conventional British Tomato production take place between March and November, and some growers produce delicious British Tomatoes all year round with the help of LED lights.
World events mean that British tomatoes and other homegrown produce are more important than ever. Many fruit and veg growers across the UK are facing pressures like labour shortages, supply delays and huge energy prices.
British growers are working tirelessly with retailers to keep up with demand for fresh, juicy British tomatoes.
To help support the industry and the amazing growers who produce British toms throughout the year, we ask you to keep an extra special eye out for British tomatoes in your local supermarket and please tag us on social media if you spot any in store.

Why we celebrate British tomatoes
In Britain, it’s fair to say we love toms. We eat around 500,000 tonnes of them every year. That’s 6oz or 160g per person per week, the equivalent of two classic British tomatoes per week, or more than 100 per year!
Over the year, around a fifth of the total toms we consume in the UK are grown in Britain.
British-grown tomatoes are famous for their flavour. That’s because they’re sold locally, so varieties are chosen for taste rather than durability.
They’re kept on the vine for longer, absorbing as much flavour as possible before they reach your plate. This also means they’re bursting with nutrition, boosting immunity, heart health and even protecting against cancer.
They’re good for the environment too. Food miles are dramatically reduced compared to imported counterparts. And British tomato growers are an innovative lot. From nourishing crops with rainwater to using bumblebees to pollinate the plants, they’re continually refining their growing techniques to work with nature, rather than against it.
