Trust in farmers, selling direct to consumers and social media success

Join Charlotte Forkes-Rees, Hannah Clarke and Tom Spencer as they take a deep dive into a recent AHDB report that found British consumer trust in farmers has reached a record high.

The trio also catch up with Lancashire farmer Eden Hill, who understands the importance of that trust and combined with the power of social media is successfully selling her meat boxes.

And our F.I.E.L.D. agents begin their quest to jargon bust. No acronym is safe (even ours).
