From My Farm was launched in October 2008 and works at reducing food miles as all of their products are truly regional indicated through the on pack growers stamp. Their offer changes each week as crops come in and out of season and only the freshest, tastiest produce is selected.

The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the first UK supporter of Slow Food UK. It is unlike all other single malt Scotch whiskies thanks to a unique combination of human craft and natural alchemy. Based in Speyside, Banffshire, it is the only distillery to still grow its own barley, malt in its own traditional floor maltings and employ a team of coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills.

Grana Padano is part of Italy's proud gastronomic tradition and culture since the dark ages. This cheese is protected and promoted by "The Grana Padano Consortium - Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Grana Padano" which ensures that every wheel of cheese is made to traditional, exacting standards so that it can be awarded its P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) status.
Based in Desenzano del Garda, in the heart of the Grana Padano production area situated in the North of Italy, and dating back to 1954, the Grana Padano Consortium brings together producers, curers and retailers and ensures that traditional production standars are mantained and the quality of Grana Padano guaranteed.
Grana Padano is also a supporter of Slow Food International.
