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.

🌾🚜 Yesterday, The Duchess of Edinburgh as Honorary President of @LEAF_Farming visited farmers at the Leckford Estate in Hampshire ahead of Open Farm Sunday on 7th June.
Open Farm Sunday, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, has given over 3.5 million people the opportunity to visit working farms, meet the people who produce their food and learn more about the vital role farming plays in the environment, the economy and rural communities.
Her Royal Highness joined the LEAF team at the farm, helping set up a haybale maze and hanging welcome banners around the site.

This is what Open Farm Sunday is all about: engaging all generations with hands-on learning about where our food comes from and how farmers care for soil, wildlife, and the environment while feeding communities.

Let’s talk about the birds and the bees… the worms and the butterflies #FarmingFortnight
Help students explore how farms support wildlife — from field margins & hedgerows to pollinators & soil organisms. A great topic for outdoor learning.
