Created to support vulnerable and self-isolating customers – and those limiting trips outside of the home, the British Farmers Food Box will also support UK farmers who have been struggling since the outbreak of Covid-19.
David Potts, Chief Executive of Morrisons, said: “Being the biggest customer of British Farming, we want to help farmers while also playing our full part in feeding the nation.
“Our farmers produce some of the world’s finest meats, vegetables and cheeses which we want to offer to our customers.”
One pound from every British Farmers Food Box will be donated to The Prince’s Countryside Fund which is coordinating donations on behalf of Farming Help charities.
Claire Saunders, Director of The Prince’s Countryside Fund said: “We are immensely grateful to Morrisons and their customers for backing British farming.
“This contribution will allow us to support farming groups across the UK – including the five Farming Help charities.
“It will also ensure that British farmers have the support they need through this difficult time to keep producing healthy, nutritious food for our tables.”
