From family farms to businesses across the supply chain, bring the veg industry together and it feels like one big team!

It was great to see so many people sharing ideas, catching up and working through the challenges we all face. 🥦🤝🥗

From Bejo salad and brassica varieties to our new pumpkins and all the research programmes we support, there was plenty to spark conversations about what comes next.

Thank you to our visitors from across the UK and overseas, exhibitors and industry partners. Together, we’re unlocking the power of plants for a sustainable future across the vegetable supply chain.

Our Open Day is this week! 🌱

Bringing growers and the entire supply chain together is vital to tackling our shared challenges. Join us to exchange ideas, build connections and work together to support the future of UK vegetable seed production.

A lot goes into getting the BCGA ready. Thank goodness for a team that gets stuck in!

The trial day gave us the chance to share a wide selection of our Bejo bred carrot portfolio, our own bred Parsnips, and hear directly from growers. Those conversations help us understand what growers need and where we can work together to support the future of UK vegetable seed production. That’s exactly why we support groups like the British Growers.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the preparations, every grower who joined us and the all the people who make this day happen.

What goes into finding your next top-performing variety? Our Head of Field Services, James Messenger, shares why trials matter, with a look back at last year’s parsnip trial.

See that work in action at our upcoming Open Days! Part of the hundreds of trials we manage each year, they’re your chance to explore a wide range of varieties and see how they perform in real farm conditions.

Of the thousands that begin the journey, very few ever make the List.

Getting there can mean seven or eight seasons of selection and trialling; different sites, different pressures, different questions asked of the genetics each time.

What emerges is more than a good set of numbers. It’s an understanding of where a variety can earn its place on farm and through the wider supply chain.

For us, that’s unlocking the power of plants.

UK vegetable growing moves forward through good varieties, good knowledge and good conversations. The Elsoms Open Day brings all three together.

We've grown our pumpkin portfolio. 🎃
As part of our continued investment in expanding our vegetable seed business, we've added a comprehensive Halloween pumpkin range to our offering.

Over 30 varieties, including established favourites Snowball, Mellow Yellow and Eros, give growers and distributors wider access to commercially proven genetics alongside our existing edible squash portfolio.

We'll continue to develop these genetics through our own breeding programme, reflecting our ongoing commitment to innovation.

Could we detect yellow rust before it's even visible in the crop?

That's the question behind a PhD project at the Earlham Institute, supported by Elsoms, using AirSeq technology to analyse airborne fungal spores and monitor rust pathogens in the air. Trial sites are running at Elsoms now, with air samples compared against disease assessments and weather data to build towards an early-warning system.

It's one of a number of long-term research projects we invest in to help growers and stakeholders across the entire supply chain. Read more on our website now.

2026 has been a stress test for winter wheat. Yellow rust pressure is high, resistance genetics are shifting, and our trial sites are showing exactly which varieties are built to handle it.

The Bejo salad portfolio is looking runway-ready at the British Leafy Salads Open Day, and the Elsoms team is all set for a great day with our dedicated salad growers.

Supporting the BLSA means supporting the trials, research and industry collaboration that help UK growers thrive – and we're pleased to play our part in making it happen.
