All our vegetables are grown and cooked on our farm for supreme freshness and flavour. Our custom-built steam oven gently cooks and retains maximum flavour. All we do then is mash gently to maintain texture, add a little seasoning…all you do is taste and enjoy.

In April 2006 we started working with STEM (Sustainable Together through Environmental Management) this involved a full company assessment followed by implementation of an Environmental management system.

Because the majority of our raw materials are obtained from the surrounding area, Mash Direct are constantly aware of environmental impacts. The systems implementation has not only lead to money saving changes but to a vast improvement on our environmental impact through waste management and sustainably sourced raw materials.

In April 2007 our environmental management system was audited to the standard of BS8555 by NQA and were issued our certificate in June.

It is no secret that one of the main reasons our products taste superb is because of the freshness of the raw vegetables. This also means we have complete traceability from seed to harvest. With the factory on our farm we are in the unique position of having our products on the supermarket shelves within 24 hours of the vegetables being picked from the field.

Mash Direct follows the standards set by HACCP and has recently been awarded Higher Level BRC. Our quality system meets and surpasses the requirements of BRC –Efsis.
