Jason from Farmer’s Choice Free Range in the South Downs says COVID-19 caused an increased demand that was driven both by strains on supermarkets and customers being more interested to know where their food comes from. With their high welfare system it was tough to keep up with demand because their traditional pig breed takes longer to grow and they didn’t want to upscale the quantity in case it undermined their animal husbandry and caused food waste further down the line.

I know nothing about farming but, I am so angry and sickened by factory farming. Can anyone advise, I want to get my eggs milk and meat and cheese if possible from real farmers.I also need to know that animals are not abused and their welfare is paramount.
I would glady pay more for these products for these reassurances. I live in Axminster Devon and would probably need delivery. Can anyone tell me…am I having a pipe dream or is this in any way possible ?
