Budgens Supports British Farmers and Local Producers
Promises’ labels and what they mean to you
Budgens is the first supermarket to join forces with Red Tractor Assured Food Standards to bring you these unique promises from our dedicated British farmers and growers. Each promise is your guarantee of British quality from the farmer, the packer, the delivery driver, right through to your Budgens store and the care with which they are presented on shelf.
Supporting our British farmers and local producers
Our support ranges across a wide variety of foods. From British lamb and beef where each animal can be traced to the farm from which it came, to the Linc Pork scheme which ensures the highest standards of animal welfare to produce the finest pork. From locally produced Somerset cheeses, delicious apples from Kent, the garden of England, mushrooms from Cambridgeshire, cabbages from a family business in Lincolnshire we believe in the high quality that each of our producers promises. You’ll find these and many more in Budgens.
