Micro-farm growth spurt leads to new roots on larger site

THE spectacular growth of a multi award-winning family business has seen it lay down new roots in Wales.

- 

Fresh and Tasty (FT) Micro-greens is relocating to a larger, three-acre site at Glanllyn Farm in Wigfair, near St Asaph.

Husband and wife team Steve and Laura Holland launched the company in 2021 and have never looked back, supplying up to 50 varieties of microherbs and microgreens to restaurants, independent stores, pubs and cafes across the region, in addition to home delivery.

The company is expanding its operation into two ex-refrigeration shipping containers with a polytunnel four times bigger than at their previous facility in Groesffordd Marli.

Diversification is key to their vision, notably an increase in production of edible flowers for cocktails, desserts, and wedding cakes, which also led to the unveiling of a new brand Fresh and Tasty Microfarm.

It's a far cry from their first base, the living room of their Old Colwyn Home, and the couple are "absolutely thrilled" to begin this next chapter in their journey.
