Vitacress

Vitacress Salads Ltd. is an agriculture company headquartered in St Mary Bourne, Andover, Hampshire, England.

The company, which was founded in the 1950s by Malcolm Isaac, is Europe's largest provider of watercress,[citation needed] and also grows and packages washed rocket (arugula), spinach, and other baby salad greens.

Vitacress supplied retailers in the UK under their own brand (JSainsbury or Marks & Spencers).

In Portugal and Spain, in order to diversify the risk and as a way to combat the slowing of the UK Washed & Ready To Eat salad market, Vitacress decided to launch its own brand (from Odemira, Portugal).

On July 1, 2008, Portuguese company RAR Group reportedly bought Vitacress for £52.5 Million.
