My own experiences in farming and working with other farmers have made me acutely aware of how a growing disconnect between farmers and consumers has denied farmers the recognition and reward they deserve.

This has happened because, in today’s just-in-time grocery supply chain, supermarkets, processors, distributors and wholesalers hold the relationship with the end consumer. Farmers might produce the food but, in most instances, someone else provides it.

This means the farmer never gets to tell the real story about the food they produce. Others in the supply chain create a perception about the product through branding and labelling, erasing its true provenance. This makes it almost impossible for people to know who really produced it and understand how and where it was produced.

So Produce & Provide focusses on promoting farmers who do exactly that - they produce great tasting food and sell it directly to people in their local communities and beyond. They are both producer and provider.

When the producer becomes provider everything changes. Individual farmers are identifiable in the marketplace. They can tell people the full life story of the food they produce and win the recognition and reward they deserve.

Buying food direct from local farmers also allows people to ask questions about it and make more informed choices about how it was produced. It also opens up access to an amazing, diverse range of food that is lost in the modern day supply chain.

Produce & Provide works to promote the benefits of buying direct from British farmers for the mutual benefit of both producers and consumers.

Help us to build a better food system and safeguard the future of small family farms, by buying direct from them whenever you can. Find your farmers on our website (see link at the top of our page).
