.
| Courgettes, Pumpkins and Squash all belong to the
genus Cucurbita and all originate from North and South America. Cucurbita maxima usually describes
larger pumpkins, Cucurbita moschata for many Butternut varieties and Cucurbita pepo for many of
the small ones, and squash. Courgettes are usually of the species pepo. |
Oakley Farms courgettes are all harvested
and packed on specially designed rigs.
This is to eliminate as much handling as possible and ensures top quality fruits.
Each harvesting rig needs 12 people to operate: - 7 cutting, 4 packing and a tractor
driver.
|
|
| By using our harvesting rigs the
courgettes can be picked, handled and packed cleanly even during the wettest
weather.
A courgette rig can harvest approximately 4 hectares of courgettes each day, 7
days a week.
Oakley Farms have one of the largest fleets of courgette harvesting rigs in the UK.
