Thank You To Our British Farmers

At S. Thorogood & Sons, we know that every box of fresh produce we deliver starts with the hard work, dedication, and skill of British farmers. These are the people who rise before dawn, work through all weathers, and put their heart into growing the fruit and vegetables that feed our communities.

Farming is not just a job – it’s a way of life. It demands resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to quality. From the first seeds sown in early spring to the final harvests of autumn, our farmers work with nature’s cycles, facing challenges that range from unpredictable weather to rising costs and changing regulations.

The Backbone of Our Food System

British farmers are at the core of a resilient food chain. They nurture the soil, protect biodiversity, and invest in sustainable practices to safeguard the land for future generations. Their work ensures that customers can enjoy fresh, seasonal produce that hasn’t travelled thousands of miles to reach the plate.

We are proud to work with growers who share our values: respect for the land, dedication to quality, and a passion for producing the very best. Whether it’s tenderstem broccoli from Kent, carrots from Suffolk, or heritage tomatoes from the Isle of Wight, every crop tells a story of care and craftsmanship.

Our Thanks

To every British farmer we work with: thank you for your expertise, your perseverance, and your pride in what you do. Without you, our shelves, kitchens, and tables would be poorer in both variety and flavour.

At Thorogood’s, we see the work behind every harvest, and we are committed to championing your efforts year-round – not just during peak seasons.
