Why We Are Here

​

Our modern day food system is controlled by big food business that strips it of taste and provenance. Small, family farms are disappearing from the landscape along with the animals that once roamed their fields. Our health is suffering and our planet is suffering too.

We are here to champion British farmers who produce wonderful milk, meat, vegetables and eggs, from the kind of farms we want to support. It's time for a real food revolution that delivers the true value of our soils and pastures.

Hi. Welcome to Produce & Provide

For many of us today, the food we are offered is far removed from what I think of as real food; with diets comprised of ultra-processed, convenience meals packed with unrecognisable ingredients.
 
We still have thousands of farms in Britain producing great tasting, healthy food. The problem is it's not easy to find and get access to so much of it. I want Produce & Provide to change this and make real food available to all. 
 
I also want to help more farmers make the step from producer to provider, so that they can give local people the chance to enjoy the food they produce and win the recognition and reward they deserve.

I hope Produce & Provide will become a hub for connecting people who love eating real food with those who can provide it. Together we can start a 21st century food & farming revolution and build a food system that delivers what people and planet need.
