One of our potato suppliers (Delavals Farm) have been supporting wildlife by establishing a 7 acre habitat of a bees ‘n’ seeds mixture.
This has provided valuable late season pollen and nectar for insects, resulting in an essential food source for many farmland birds.
LEAF Open Farm Sunday (12th June) is farming’s annual open day giving visitors the opportunity to learn more about farming, and farmers the chance to talk about what they’re so proud of: British food and farming!
Find your local farm to visit.

Thank you @Sandeshgulhane for the kind Scottish Parliament motion highlighting the jobs support available at @asda and @IPL_limited for Ukrainian refugees.
We’ve donated two pallets of assorted porridge to support displaced Ukrainian families.
@Asda will be consolidating our donation with their other donated essentials including food, @Georgeatasda clothing and toiletries, which will be sent for distribution in Ukraine.
We’ve begun a new programme in partnership with @apeelsciences, which will introduce Citrus fruits and Avocados with plant-based protection to @asda stores, to increase shelf life and prevent food waste.

We are appointing 150 specialist in-store Greengrocers in @asda stores across the UK as part of a £9m investment to increase the choice and quality of fresh fruit and vegetables available in store. https://t.co/QABBscASDN
Our new 100% recyclable seedless grape punnets means @Asda customers can now recycle the punnets and film as a whole, without removing the lid. This will allow 80 million lids per year to be recycled along with the tray, diverting 80 tonnes of material from going to waste.
We’re changing the packing of @asda's Bumper Root Veg Pack. The plastic tray packaging will be transitioning to a much lighter plastic bag packet, saving 1.6 million pieces of plastic a year, which equates to a saving of around 27 tonnes!
To support @asda's commitment to reduce their use of plastic, we’ve removed the plastic net sleeves which are added to swell the buds and protect the blooms of Alstroemerias. This will save around 210km of plastic netting – equivalent to 1.7 tonnes! https://t.co/JfCf3l378U
We’ve launched the first 100% recyclable blueberry punnets. @Asda customers can now recycle the punnets and film as a whole, without removing the lid. Find out more: https://t.co/4dXctFct4x #recycling
We’ve launched our latest @asda food box, brimming with fresh fruit and vegetables, delivered straight to your doorstep. Containing 18 colourful items for just £20, it represents the best value supermarket fruit and vegetable box available. https://t.co/YmTphkMNc8
We’ve supported @Asda to introduce two new varieties of tomatoes to its customers, grown right here in Britain. Our grower @FFSalads has also been going the extra mile to make these tomatoes sustainable: https://t.co/fdSlibzKjo
To support @Asda's commitment to reduce the use of plastic in the business, we recently removed the RPET trays from our 125g Extra Special British Asparagus Tips. This will equate to a saving of around 21.6 tonnes of unnecessary plastic!
We've worked with @Asda and our partners at @StarStockUK, to a launch food box featuring a selection of cupboard filling favourites and essential items to help vulnerable people obtain important everyday items during these unprecedented times.

We understand that due to their huge commitment, local NHS workers may find it difficult to access groceries. To say thank you for all their hard work, the team from our Spade Lane site sent a selection of fruit to @Medway_NHS_FT
Huge thank you to @IPL_limited and @asda for the flowers for all our hard working NHS community healthcare teams! 💐🌺🌹🥀💙👏
We received over 150 free bunches of flowers this morning, which we will be distributing round our amazing teams to say 'Thanks a Bunch' to you all 💙
To support @asda@AsdaSustainable's commitment to reduce the use of plastic in the business, we aim to remove 225 tonnes of plastic from our packaging in 2020. We've removed an impressive 31 tonnes so far, that’s four-and-a-half Elephants’ worth!
