Morrisons supports British farming | Morrisons Good To Know

On 8th August 2024, we'll be marking 24 Hours in Farming with our #Farm24 event. The annual event aims to showcase the brilliant work done by British land and livestock farmers all day, everyday.

Morrisons Sponsors 24 Hours in Farming

We have sponsored this event, run by the Farmers Guardian, since its launch in 2015. Each year, British farmers are encouraged to take to social media for one day to post pictures, videos and text to show and explain the work they are doing that day. The aim is to show consumers the vast extent of the effort and care which goes into producing the food they eat.

Get Involved!

If you're a British farmer, we'd love to see a glimpse into your daily farming life, or if you're a foodie, get involved! Share snapshots or videos with us on social media using #Farm24, and click here to show your support.

You can also follow the events and stories of the day through our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter; just search for Morrisons.

Finding Local Food Makers

At Morrisons, we want to feed the nation with a bigger portion of food and drink that is sourced from local suppliers. That’s why we've started a fresh search for a new crop of food makers - who we hope can grow with Morrisons and maybe even become household names in their own right.
