Waitrose farmers
At Waitrose, we’re immensely proud of the hard-working, dedicated farmers who produce our meat, fish, dairy, fruit and veg. They share our commitment to rearing animals with kindness and compassion, and growing food with care for the land.
Follow @waitrosefarmers on Instagram for a behind-the-scenes, mud-and-all look at life on the farm, and scroll down to meet some of our farmers.
