Target Supporting British Farming
Target have been backing and supporting British Farmers for many years as they diversify and want to achieve their own added value to the crops they grow and livestock they breed.
This can take many forms and Target have something for everyone including years of experience to give good balanced advice as only another manufacturer can give to another producer.
Target have helped Farms for City Children in farthest West Wales provide the valuable rural life experience of living and working on a farm to spread the word about where food comes from and how it is produced when so many think it comes from a shop window at the local drive through take away.
Farmers have always struggled to achieve sustainable reward to cover production costs in a high welfare and highly regulated industry controlled by large supermarket buying chains that cannot cope or help the smaller farmer that the larger farmers feed off.
Its understandable that you must innovate as a farmer to get the return on investment to make it all worthwhile.
Farm-Ed in the Cotswolds came to Target to help design their new kitchen at their regenerative farming centre of excellence which showcases an amazing conference and event facility just down the road from Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddley squat farm of TV fame.
Target have also helped Mr Clarkson’s Diddley Squat Farm contract caterers for his farming enterprises develop their production kitchen near Chipping Norton to process what Mr Clarkson produces on his farm in West Oxfordshire.
Down in Somerset at Frogmary Green Farm Target helped convert a cooking skills teaching kitchen to service the amazing Farm and Field Café that enjoyed massive expansion and success during covid and has gone on to provide a wedding event space and diverse work shop space on the former chicken farm that now produces Bio Methane on a massive scale.
Up in Herefordshire Target helped Newton Court Farm start the Chapel of Apple cider farm restaurant and event space that also offers cider making tours as it produces cider for the River Cottage farmer/restauranteur/journalist down in Dorset Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.
Locally in Gloucestershire we are very luck to have native pigs and cattle that carry the Gloucester title so when farmer Clifford Freeman heritage breeder of Gloucestershire cattle wanted help at his hotel on the Scilly Isles Target were there to help as they have also done up in the highlands and Islands of Scotland.
There is no end to what farmers can do and use their land for to develop their businesses. Target will always be here for them as a centre of excellence where they can come and visit talk to us see and use equipment that they may wish to consider adding value to food cooked using the very latest most energy efficient and special equipment available.
