At Westmorland, we’ve long championed the belief that eating great seasonal British-grown produce can bring a simple pleasure to life.
At the heart of this is a commitment to understanding where the food we sell comes from and how our buying choices affect the world around us.
We partner with farmers and growers who care as much about the food and the land that produces it, as we do.
They share our vision for British agriculture, but they need your support. Britain is less than 60% self-sufficient in vegetable and salad crops, and this is declining. But, there is brightness in the industry, led by some inspiring producers and projects.

Growing Well
Growing Well is a pioneering mental health charity based at the Northbound site of Tebay Services, offering a clinically-governed long term mental health recovery service. People who are feeling depressed, anxious or finding everyday life a challenge, can access free and effective support by spending time at Growing Well.
The site is a “real-world” commercial business, with 100% of the crops grown being used in salads, soups, and sandwiches in our Kitchens or sold in our Farmshops. This circular economy provides a valuable income for Growing Well and a purpose for the growers
Volunteers at the site share tasks and set goals for their recovery, and join a community of growers who find solace and satisfaction in nurturing a crop from seed to plate.
A housing officer recommended Growing Well to Alice, who was struggling with mental illness.
“Being open and honest about mental ill health is important in removing the stigma and helping others get the support they need,” explains Alice.
“I love the sense of community and belonging, working alongside other people who I know are having similar struggles really helps. I leave at the end of each day proud of what I have achieved and what we have achieved as a group.”
