We all use Leather fern occasionally, but I think we all agree that the 3 weeks of transport doesn’t work in favor for the quality. We have now changed our travel plans! Now, they're sunbathing in Spain and will be coming over to you in just 3 days. Shorter transport means less fuel consumption, which directly contributes to a reduced carbon footprint. It's a win for us, a win for you, and, most importantly, a win for the planet.

Let’s talk about the benefits!

They have shorter travel times which means less transport hours. Also, since we cut out a few weeks, the quality is way better and the product is way fresher. By sourcing from Spain, we also support our European neighbors so win-win!

“A nose for quality and a heart for sustainability“

Where to find them

Our buyer Arjan picked out this farm and he was excited to tell us about it, why? Because he's got a nose for quality and a heart for sustainability. Now we know why he was so excited. This farm is the real deal, with growers putting love and care into every stem of the Leather ferns. Immediately after the harvest, the bundles are protected against evaporation, sorted, and tied into various size classes. The grower of this farm is very passionate about his products, they put a lot of energy into the Leather fern and that pays off on the quality.

Are you as excited as we are? Can’t wait for you to try out these amazing Leather ferns, you can find them in our web shop when you search for ‘Rainfields’.
