In September, we wrote to the UK’s 6 biggest supermarkets, asking them to #GetFairAboutFarming

Despite over 90k of you signing our petition, not one has responded.

There’s a place for you round our table @Tesco @sainsburys @Morrisons @asda @LidlGB & @AldiUK - time to RSVP? 🎄

[Riverford @Riverford]

Against this backdrop, it’s vitally important to support UK farmers and #GetFairAboutFarming to build resilience in our food system. Despite over 60k of you signing our petition, we’ve had radio silence from supermarkets and gov. Add your voice here: https://t.co/Y0G59PsrgY

@ownersgroupuk Well done Manorbank and Team Lavelle

We always find growing celeriac a challenge but this year we've succeeded and dinner tonight was extremely good. #supportbritishfarming

[Riverford @Riverford]

Our research has shown that farmers feel they aren't being treated fairly by supermarkets.
@FFC_Commission's new study shows that citizens are worried about this issue too.
It's all there in black and white! We need to #getfairaboutfarming.

It's not just fruit and veg farmers supplying supermarkets who are struggling. Cheese producers are feeling the squeeze too according to @TheGrocer. We need to #GetFairAboutFarming. Sign our petition here: https://t.co/7UXLDZKWcP

[Rob Yorke @blackgull]

a farmer who uses very little, if any, artificial nitrogen

a farmer who tests his soil every three years

a farmer who moves his electric fence most mornings

a farmer who has lots of insect-hawking swallows

a farmer who rarely has time for a holiday

#farming is hard work

[Riverford @Riverford]

Dear supermarkets, we need to get fair about farming...
