Jennifer, having left to get married and have kids, David (snr) retired to Cornwall and the farm was managed and expanded to 8.5 acres by his son, Jeremy Trehane. Under his management, J Sainsbury was the first ‘supermarket’ customer and Marks and Spencer began to offer our blueberries to its customers in the late 1980s, with the Trehane family firmly established supplying 100% of its national requirement during the summer.

Roll on to the mid 1990s and new research by Dr James Joseph at Tufts University, Massachusetts suggested that the anti-oxidants had a beneficial effect on the aging process and cognitive ability. Further research showed that blueberries contained particularly high levels of anti-oxidants and were generally very healthy things to eat!
From this point, demand for blueberries in the UK grew by, at times, 150% each year and they are now the 2nd most popular soft fruit behind the mighty English strawberry.

Converting to organic production in 2003, we have been registered with The Soil Association for over 20 years.

Nowadays, we steer clear of corporate supermarkets, with all of our fruit destined for the UK’s 2 primary organic retailers – Riverford and Abel & Cole, but our commitment doesn’t end at your table. We also supply over 2 tons of frozen fruit each year to Lush Cosmetics, which are lovingly crafted into organic blueberry face mask.

We adhere to strict organic farming practices, ensuring that our blueberries are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. This commitment to organic agriculture not only safeguards the environment but also guarantees that you receive berries that are as nature intended—bursting with flavour, nutrients, and natural goodness.

We employ sustainable techniques that promote soil health, conserve water, and enhance biodiversity. Each blueberry is hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, ensuring that only the best make it to your table. This attention to detail ensures a superior product that stands out in taste and quality.
