A very important assurance scheme. Two of our partners, Fresh Direct and Brakes became the first UK foodservice businesses to reach a 100% LEAF Marque goal across contracted domestic growers. #LoveBritishFood #BritishFoodFortnight
It’s #BritishFoodFortnight & we’re proud to celebrate British-grown produce by shining light on LEAF Marque. It helps farmers grow their business whilst prove green credentials, giving consumers confidence in the food they consume.

Huge congrats to Barfoots on incredible 50 years, and 30 years as LEAF Members.
In 1998, Victor Barfoot & our late CEO Caroline Drummond planted an oak sapling at Abshot Farm. Today it still stands tall - just like their status as a LEAF Regenerative Beacon!

A special moment for LEAF last week as we planted an oak tree in memory of our first Chairman, David Richardson OBE.
Together with Caroline Drummond, he helped shape a vision for farming that has inspired positive change for more than 35 years.
His legacy continues to grow. 💚

Did you know bumblebees struggle to fly at 28°C?
When temperature rises, drought leaves pollinators short on food & water, threatening biodiversity.
Here's how to help:
- Plant late-flowering bloomers
- Add a water feature for moister nectar
- Create shaded patches for shelter
