In celebration of International Carrot Day, Fruehauf paid a special visit to one of its long-standing customers, Strawson Ltd, at their Double Roof Farm site to witness their impressive carrot sorting operation in full swing.
International Carrot Day, held every year on 4th April, is a global occasion dedicated to appreciating one of the world’s most versatile and nutritious root vegetables. It’s a light-hearted but meaningful day, recognising both the people behind carrot production and the key role this humble crop plays in global food supply.
Strawson Ltd, based in Nottinghamshire, is one of the UK’s leading producers of root crops. A family-run business with deep roots in British farming, Strawson is known for its high standards in sustainability and innovation, particularly in the harvesting and processing of carrots, parsnips, and other field vegetables. Their Double Roof Farm site is at the heart of this operation, with state-of-the-art grading and packing facilities that ensure freshly harvested carrots are swiftly sorted, cleaned, and dispatched for delivery.
The visit was an opportunity for the Fruehauf team to see their trailers in action, working hard behind the scenes to keep the agricultural supply chain running smoothly. Designed for durability and efficiency, Fruehauf’s range of tipping and bulk haulage trailers plays a vital role in transporting crops from field to factory with minimal delay.
