partnership farms

Our Sustainable Dairy Project aims to work closely with the farmers in our supply chain to drive commercial benefits for producers. We also believe that by working together we can bring about improvements to animal welfare, food quality and environmental practices, which will benefit the whole dairy industry.

Tesco introduces the 12 Partnership Farms:

John & Bernadette Archer,
Cheshire

Stephen Brown,
Yorkshire

Tim & Marion Gue,
Sussex

Mike & Julie Hassall,
Cheshire

Ryan Hayden,
Sussex

Martin Hawkins,

Stuart & Jane Heath,
Staffordshire

Will Hosford,
Dorset

James Johnston,
Glasgow

Richard Pilkington,
North Wales

Duncan Pritchard,
Devon

James Stephen,
Angus

The project will be co-ordinated by Ruth Layton, Food Animal Initiative (FAI). Matt Dobbs, Westpoint Veterinary Group, will be managing the health issues.
