2 Natural goodness inside brings out the personality on the outside Nature Friendly Farming Natural, simple and honest. Our food comes straight from the countryside we like to do things the natural way. Wild Bird Rabbit Guinea Pig Hamster Cheeky, full of life, feeling happy and healthy Our countryside location allows us to work with local farmers to support the UK s natural flora and fauna. We work with farmers who support initiatives that make farmland more environmentally friendly and encourage wildlife. Leaving areas of land unfarmed provides more natural food resources, allowing wildlife to flourish. 2 3
