Supporting British Farmers
Why Supporting British Farming Matters
At British Broth Company, we believe great bone broth starts long before it reaches our kitchen. It begins on British farms, with farmers who work tirelessly every day to produce the high-quality livestock that feeds our nation.
Our mission has always been about more than making bone broth. It's about supporting British agriculture, rural communities, and helping protect the future of food production here in the UK.
Britain Needs Its Farmers
The UK imports around 40% of the food we consume, meaning only around 60% is produced here at home. While importing food has an important role to play, it also means we rely heavily on other countries to feed our population.
Recent years have shown how quickly global events can disrupt food supplies. Whether it's conflict, rising transport costs, disease outbreaks or extreme weather, imported food can become more expensive and less reliable.
A strong British farming industry helps provide greater food security, supports local jobs and ensures we continue to have access to high-quality food produced to the standards we expect.
The Challenges Facing British Farmers
British farmers face increasing pressure from rising production costs, labour shortages, changing regulations and unpredictable weather. Many family farms are finding it increasingly difficult to remain profitable, with some choosing to leave the industry altogether.
Every year, more farms disappear or are absorbed into larger operations. While farming continues to evolve, the loss of family farms affects not only rural communities but also the long-term resilience of British food production.
Farming is not simply another industry. It is the foundation of our food supply.
No Farmers Means No Broth
Bone broth exists because of farming.
Every batch we produce begins with bones from livestock that have been responsibly reared for food. Bone broth is one of the most sustainable ways to make use of a valuable ingredient that might otherwise go to waste, helping ensure that more of every animal is put to good use.
Without British farmers, there would be no British bones, no British livestock, and ultimately no British bone broth.
Supporting British farming helps preserve the supply chains that businesses like ours rely on and helps keep traditional food production alive for future generations.
Proud to Support British Agriculture
As a family business based in Dorset, we are passionate about sourcing British bones wherever possible. We believe customers deserve to know where their food comes from and to have confidence in the quality and traceability of the ingredients they consume.
By choosing British suppliers, we are investing in local agriculture, supporting rural businesses and helping keep British farming thriving.
Our Commitment
Supporting British farmers isn't a marketing slogan, it's part of who we are.
As British Broth Company continues to grow, we remain committed to working with British suppliers wherever possible and championing the people who work so hard to produce the food we all rely on.
Because when British farming thrives, we all benefit.
And after all, without farmers, there would be no broth.
Support Local Business
By choosing to buy from a British business, you're doing far more than purchasing a product—you're helping to support local jobs, strengthen the UK economy, and keep independent businesses thriving. Small businesses face increasing challenges every year, and every order makes a genuine difference. Thank you for supporting local businesses and helping to keep British enterprise alive for future generations.
