At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

The Yeo Valley Plan

Dairy is the family business, and the Meads (founders of Yeo Valley) have been farming in Somerset for 500 years.

A lot has changed in that time. More than 135,000 dairy farmers have gone out of business. There are now only 15,000 left. Meanwhile, a quarter of Britons are drinking plant-based milks. 

This year, it has been celebrating 25 years of Yeo Valley Organic, filling fridges around the country.

They’ve spent the past 25 years working towards, what the Meads call their “True North”: helping to make 10 per cent of dairy farming in the UK organic.

In recent years, Yeo has chosen to emphasise that its products are made with milk from British farmers, rather than its solid organic credentials.

The past 18 months, however, during which there has been a ­palpable shift towards environmental awareness, has boosted confidence in celebrating the comp­any’s way of farming. 

Also, they welcome the focus on veganism if it means we all consume less meat and, instead, favour better-cared-for, grass-fed animals. “That’s the outcome we’re after.” Plant-based milks have also increased how much people are willing to spend.

To that end, and to further its True North organic mission, Yeo has opened a café in west London, as well as encouraging visitors to its ­celebrated Yeo Valley headquarters canteen in Blagdon and the tea room at Holt Farm, open during spring and summer, where they can also explore Sarah’s certified organic ornamental garden. Each July, the Meads hold a music and food festival. They want people to come down and ask questions.
