Farm to Fork producer The Farmer’s Son says eat better and support British farmers
The Farmer’s Son, who produce some of Scotland's best Black Pudding & Haggis, have secured a listing with the prestigious Fortnum & Mason department store in London.
Fortnum & Mason, first founded in London's Piccadilly in 1707, has remained an essential destination
known for its history, luxury goods and focus on high-quality food. For three centuries Fortnum's has
been committed to bringing the world's best food to their flagship store on prestigious Piccadilly Circus
and as a result this year it was ranked as the best department store in the world. Fortnum's has supplied
fresh produce to The Royal Household for many years and they received warrants for their services as
Grocers and Tea Merchants from Their Majesties The King and Queen.
The Farmer’s Son founder Peter Mitchell said, “I am delighted that Fortnum & Mason have chosen to
stock our award-winning products. This is a testament to our hard work and commitment over the years
to produce the highest quality products possible. To be included in the foodhall of one of the world’s
best department stores, sharing shelf space with a selection of the country's finest handpicked products,
is quite an honour for us.”
In a world of fake supermarket farms and contrived brand stories, The Farmer’s Son offers clued up
shoppers and retailers truly authentic products from reputable trusted sources. Their all-natural range of
Scottish Black Pudding, Haggis, White Pudding and Lorne Sausage are made with high quality, locally
grown and produced ingredients from family farms and mills in Scotland free from additives,
preservatives and artificial flavourings. They offer real provenance, traceability and the high animal
welfare option, in a way the typical mass produced factory made products cannot.
Founder of The Farmer's Son, Pete Mitchell, comes from a long line of farmers and producers. Founded
in 2017, he can trace his family's farming heritage back over 11 generations, to the early 1700s. With this
300-years of farming heritage in his blood, Pete wanted to create a food business that honoured those
roots and family legacy of producing high quality food, while also embracing local supply chains and
ethical farming practices.
“For us, this partnership working with Fortnum's is a milestone and a great achievement. We believe,
whether a world renowned department store or small grocery, there is a demand and desire for high
quality Scottish & UK made products. Despite all the challenges in today’s world, smaller to medium
sized, independent, hardworking family businesses are still relevant and can be the answer to many of
our problems.” Pete Mitchell, Founder of The Farmer’s Son.
