Seasonal provenance

Seasonal provenance, published per line.

Produce Network is a London produce supplier to restaurants, dark kitchens, hotels and catering teams, and every line it buys comes from a known source. On this public calendar that means the country and region of origin, and the UK season, published per line — read it before you set a menu. The grower and the certification are named on the price-locked list for your account, against each line, where they sit beside the count, the grade and the spec.

What is published

Origin and season here; grower and certification on your price-locked list.

  • Origin, per line

    The country and region each line is bought from, in supply order — set against the season, not the nearest pallet. Sourced from New Covent Garden Market.

  • UK season, per line

    The months a line is in UK season, so a menu can be written to what is at its best, not against the calendar.

  • Grower and certification, per account

    The named grower and any certification sit on the price-locked list for the account, against each line — not on this public page.

The seasonal calendar

The lines, their origin, and the UK season.

Read across each line: the produce, where it is bought from, how it supplies, and the months it is in UK season. A line with no UK season is imported to hold the spec year-round.

Seasonal produce: line, origin, availability and UK season, from the buying record.
