It was a passion for good food and the poor availability of high quality fresh herbs that inspired Alison Dodd to start growing her own herbs in Yorkshire in the early 1990s. She had her career as a Cordon Bleu chef in the family restaurant, and recognised the need for a good supply of fresh herbs into the catering industry. The company developed from supplying local restaurants and hotels and then to supplying the food processing sector. As fresh herbs were gradually rediscovered as a primary source of flavour demand continued to increase.
This has facilitated quite a bit of investment, with the company’s polytunnels, for instance, allowing it to grow unusual baby leaves and speciality herbs to an environmentally friendly, using biological control systems, for the discerning customer. Its modern packhouse allows rapid high humidity chilling of field grown crops and has air conditioned high and low care facilities, which enable Herbs Unlimited to adapt its products to any specification required. Herbs Unlimited is dedicated to commercially growing all of its herbs in the most environmentally sensitive way it can.
