Elsoms is the UK’s leading supplier of quality vegetable seed. We offer an impressive range of varieties from our own and our partners’ breeding programmes.

We work closely with partners Bejo Zaden and Holland Select to provide an extensive portfolio of conventional and organic vegetable varieties to the UK market. We are also Bejo’s sole distributor in the UK. All varieties have been trialled and tested in the UK, ensuring we offer the most successful seed to our customers. Our plant breeding team focus on our own portfolio of traditional British crops, such as parsnips and swede, and we have a joint breeding programme with Bejo in sprouting broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

Elsoms' Open Days are incredibly important to us as they allow us to demonstrate our innovative portfolio to the vegetable industry while also giving our customers a chance to talk to our crop specialists and breeders about how we can best support them. This helps us to learn, improve, and work even more closely with growers.
