Leaf marque logo
The LEAF Marque is a food label you can trust from farmers who care. Produce identified with a LEAF Marque logo indicates it has been through an assurance scheme that means it has been produced by farmers whilst caring for the environment.

- Recycling on-farm waste and conserving energy
