Farm Retail Association Event "Stronger Together" 2024
On the 6th March, Helen & Angela two of our lovely Angels had the privilege of attending the Farm Retail Association's "Stronger Together" Event in Peterborough.
This event provides a powerful opportunity to connect like-minded independent business owners in the farming industry with seminars, site visits, the FRA awards and a trade show - all designed to add value to members.
Farm shops represent an important diversification route for farmers - enabling them to grow their business sustainability through B2C trade, with many becoming "destination" sites for customers looking to support local independent businesses. By enhancing their offering across a wider range of product types, including gift & homeware (and in some cases - experiences like "pick your own" or on-site restaurants) Farm retailers can position themselves as a "day trip" destination for customers- offering a sustainable and high quality local alternative to mass-market retailers.
We are thrilled we have had the opportunity to be part this unique and inspiring events, forging long-lasting relationships with some incredible knowledge on how our product range can enhance their retail across all seasons.
We are so excited to be working with FRA for future events and collaboration opportunities, be sure to keep an eye out on our social media for information on future events we're attending.
Don't forget - If you are attending the Farm & Deli Show 2024 at the NEC, our extensive showroom is just 20 minutes away and will be open by appointment for the duration of the event. It's a fantastic opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the show, see our huge range of new and bestselling collections for 2024 with a spot of lunch and expert advice from our team of Angels...
