It’s Red Tractor Week!

The Red Tractor logo now features on £10 billion worth of food and drink products. To celebrate this achievement and 10 years of Great Food and Great Farming under the logo, TV presenter, writer and British icon Janet Street Porter, has been brought on board to front the Red Tractor Week campaign.

We’re celebrating Red Tractor Week in our own unique way by promoting the use of Red Tractor products through some tasty BBQ themed recipes in some of our sites. Honey and mustard glazed sausages; sausage, cheese and bacon flatbread and jerk chicken are just some of the delicious dishes on offer – we’re just hoping that the weather reflects our summer-inspired selection of recipes!

Using the Red Tractor certification shows our customers that they are buying food that meets strict standards of food safety, environmental protection and animal welfare with a guarantee of origin… and, as great believers of ‘honestly good food’, Red Tractor Week gives us the perfect opportunity to share these values with customers.
