Buying British Fruit and Vegetables

“No country in the world can beat the British when it comes to growing veggies, especially during British Food Fortnight.” Helen Peacocke, Food Writer

British fruit & vegetables travel less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.

Choosing British fruit & vegetables means supporting British farmers whose work helps keep the British countryside the way we want it to look!
