William Boers of family run business, Westlands, located in the Vale of Evesham, talks about what keeps the business thriving and what inspires them.

Westlands are one the Taste Worcestershire food heroes and the campaign runs until 27th October, showcasing the county’s exceptional food and drink scene.

Westlands is a multi-generational family business that started over 80 years ago in the Netherlands, so naturally, growing has always been in our blood. Now, 80 years after us starting the business in the Vale of Evesham, the same principles of personal care and product quality have been passed down from generation to generation. Our speciality produce is now used in world-class kitchens and bars across the UK.

We are British speciality growers of Micro Leaves, Edible Flowers, Sea Vegetables, Inspired Leaves and Speciality Tomatoes, all grown in the Vale of Evesham. We use the latest techniques and cutting-edge technology to grow our Edible Flowers, Micro Leaves and other Speciality Produce. As growers, every step of our process, from the seeds we sow, to the relationships we forge with suppliers and chefs is tended to with the utmost care and attention. Our products feature in top bars and restaurants in the UK, and we pride ourselves on our fast delivery, huge product range and the quality of freshness.

Our chef community is a constant source of inspiration for us. When we see them doing what they love, it inspires us to push the boundaries and continue to be innovative. Having regular conversations, welcoming them on site and working collaboratively all helps us to be as great as we are!

We are proud to be a part of the Visit Worcestershire, Taste Worcestershire campaign, raising awareness of Worcestershire produce across the UK and really putting the county of the nationwide foodie map.

“We work with and supply businesses and chefs both regionally and country wide, and we’re proud to be located in the centre of Worcestershire, so we’re thrilled to be part of the Taste of Worcestershire campaign.” – William Boers, Growing Manager, Westlands.
