☀️ Another scorcher of a weekend is on the way…
For most of us, that means BBQs, beer gardens and dodgy tan lines. 🍻☀️
But for British farmers, extreme heat means something very different.
💧 Animals can drink up to 3x their normal amount
🌾 Wheat yields are under serious pressure
🥕 Vegetable growth is being stunted
❄️ And farmers are already having to think ahead to winter
So while we enjoy the sunshine, spare a thought for the people working through it to put food on our tables. 🇬🇧
The simplest thing we can do? BUY LOCAL.
Support your local butcher.
Support your greengrocer.
Support your baker.
Support your farm shop.
Because when you buy local, you’re not just supporting a business — you’re supporting the farmers behind your food.
And for us, that connection is right on our doorstep.
🥩 Our beef comes from our own farm, just around 10 miles from our shops.
No imports.
No uncertainty.
Just British beef, from our farm to your plate. 🇬🇧
This summer, back British farmers. Buy local. Keep it on your doorstep. ❤️🇬🇧
