Our Sponsors

We are delighted that Leg One is being supported by our first major retailer we are working with — Midcounties Co-operative. Their Best of our Counties brand is currently being certified as a Provenance Champion and we hope to certify and feature many of their suppliers — listed here — on our Tour.

Best of our Counties will also be working with us to visit schools to connect school children to the journey of their food, and to engage producers with consumers at a variety of their stores across the mid counties.

We are also delighted to have received support from Folk2folk who provide peer to peer lending and help many farmers diversify (and often into food producer businesses) when traditional high street banks simply cannot.

Ian Bell OBE has, and continues to do, sterling work in leading the Addington Fund that does so much to help support struggling family farms. He is helping Happerley on the journey to becoming a cooperative next year and we are very pleased to help raise the profile of this Charity.
