Wholesale growers and suppliers of Kaffir Lime Leaves and Fruit
Colonial Growers are specialist growers and distributors to the wholesale trade
of fresh Kaffir Lime Leaves and Kaffir Limes.
We currently have over 1000 Kaffir Lime plants housed in a temperature controlled greenhouse facility in Ardleigh, near Colchester in Essex. The plants are tended daily and have an automatic watering system which incorporates an in-line fertiliser feeding system to ensure only the highest quality leaves and fruit are produced.
We have had the pleasure of supplying wholesale fruit and vegetable merchants in London’s Covent Garden and Spitalfields markets and merchants in other areas of the UK with fresh leaves on a weekly basis for a number of years now and have seen their demand increase year on year.
Leaves are picked, cleaned, and despatched to their destination within 2 days thus ensuring produce arrives in peak condition.
We are one of the very few commercial growers of kaffir limes in the UK and as the importation of fresh leaves is forbidden under DEFRA rules because of the risk of disease, the availabilty of totally fresh leaves is somewhat restricted. We are confident our products are the freshest available.
