British Food Fortnight 2018

British Food Fortnight

At Becketts Farm we are always striving to reduce food miles and support local suppliers. This British food fortnight we are celebrating all that is local and British. With the exception of some speciality ingredients, fruit and vegetables our Farm Shop is packed to the rafters with fantastic British products and producers. Here are 16 of some of our favourite British suppliers.

Becketts Farm Honey

We produce our honey on Lyndons Farm in Earlswood. Bees will travel up to two miles from the hive, which means if you see a bee flying around Becketts Farm Shop they’re probably working with us. All the honey is small batch and can be found in our Farm Shop, but bee quick because when it’s gone its gone.

Sadler’s Beer

Sadler’s have been established brewers since 1900, based in the heart of the ‘Black Country’ and produce award winning craft beers along with a range of spirits. As a nod towards their strong black country roots, Sadler’s also produce a range of “Peaky Blinders” themed ales and sprits.

For more information, why not check out their website www.sadlersales.co.uk 

Shire Meadows Beef

Based in the Midlands, this beef comes only from sustainable sources and where animal welfare is a high priority. The UK Beef market in 2015 was worth £3.1 Billion*, and Shire Meadows are an excellent example of a company contributing to this key industry. The beef which they supply us is used in our Restaurant and Butchers and is farmed within a 50 mile radius.

Bennett and Dunn Rapeseed Oil

Bennett and Dunn Rapeseed oil, is a true British farm product. Rupert and Tracey Bennett produce the cold pressed rapeseed oil in Shropshire. The whole process is controlled by them from start to finish, from harvesting the seed to bottling it themselves. With health benefits over alternatives, try some for yourself today.
