Westlands Farm Shop has proudly partnered with Cams Hill Secondary School to supply locally sourced and high-quality meat and produce for the school's canteen.
The shop, located just a few miles from the school, provides fresh lamb and beef from their own farm in the Meon Valley. They also deliver chicken, pork and eggs on behalf of their network of local farmers.
The collaboration offers students wholesome meals that support both their health and the environment. The school canteen now features meat products that are carefully reared in Hampshire and surrounding areas, alongside fresh seasonal vegetables and eggs, offering students wholesome meals that support both their health and the environment.
Westlands Farm Shop is proud to contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the canteen. Seventy per cent of the shop’s suppliers are located within a 40-mile radius of the family run farm in Wickham, which has been operating since 2001.
Head butcher at Westlands Farm Shop, Suzi Howard, recently attended an open evening at the school to talk to students and parents about the importance of supporting British farmers. Suzi said:
“Knowing where your food comes from is key to making sustainable choices. It’s fantastic to see schools like Cams Hill embracing this approach, and I’m excited about the difference we can make together for the future of British agriculture.”
“By working with local farmers, we’re not only providing better quality food for the next generation, but also strengthening our local food network.”
This partnership also aligns with the broader movement to connect with the local community, highlighting the importance of small businesses and farms in providing sustainable food solutions.
