Business Overview

• Provenance Potatoes Ltd is a specialist potato growing, packing, and import company based in Deal, Kent, United Kingdom, operating from Mongeham Farm on Northbourne Road
• Located in the heart of Kent's finest potato growing area, known as the "Garden of England", benefiting from some of the most fertile and productive fields in the country
• The company name reflects its core philosophy: knowing exactly who grows every potato, what field they grew them in, and the seed they originated from — a complete seed-to-plate traceability model
• Operating since 2020, the company has built a reputation for premium quality local produce combined with personalised service that only a small, knowledgeable, and passionate team can deliver

Client Base and Services

• Client portfolio spans retailers, wholesalers, export markets, packing facilities, and processing markets across the United Kingdom
• Provenance oversees the entire supply chain including washing, grading, packing, and delivery to ensure quality standards from farm to customer

Product Range

• Maris Peer Baby Potatoes — firm texture when cooked, perfect for boiling, steaming, or roasting. Available washed in 10kg boxes
• Desiree (Large and Mids) — versatile variety ideal for baking, mashing, wedges, chipping, or boiling. Mids are especially good for curries as they retain their shape

• Chipping Potatoes — specially selected varieties that deliver the best fry colour and finest chip quality
• Seed Potatoes — sourced directly for their network of farmers, maintaining complete traceability from seed to plate

Environmental Commitment

• All growers hold Red Tractor accreditation, with some also achieving LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) accreditation
• Active use of cover cropping, reduced cultivation techniques, and compost application to maintain and enhance soil health and structure
• Utilises the Cool Farm Tool — an online greenhouse gas, water, and biodiversity calculator — to measure and reduce their carbon footprint
• Operates a whole crop marketing strategy to minimise food waste by finding markets for all sizes, shapes, and skin finishes of potatoes
• Tubers unsuitable for human consumption are returned to growers for cattle feed, ensuring zero waste in the supply chain
• Production areas near watercourses and wetlands support biodiversity, including evidence of beavers, otters, water voles, and rare bird species such as Bittern, Herons, and Woodpeckers
• Actively planting wildflower mixes in field margins and preserving grass buffer strips to encourage biodiversity and provide nectar sources
