Farmers and Suppliers

Our Partners in Success

We source from over 60 family farms in North/South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. All our Chicken is 100% British and Red Tractor Assured, our farms are specially selected to ensure compliance with our stringent sourcing commitments.

Our farmers supply over 1 million birds every week to our Thorne processing facility which produces chicken for retail, wholesale and the ethnic markets.

We provide our farmers with the security they need to invest in sustainable farming methods and part of our success has come from our commitment to investing in new poultry housing.
