A unique food box selling only British-produced food is available in Morrisons, and £1 from every purchase is donated to farming charities.
The box, first announced in May 2020, was created to help farmers sell food which would typically be destined for the foodservice trade.
The seasonal food box has since been updated to include new items.
Priced at £45, £1 from every purchase is donated to farming charities through the Prince’s Countryside Fund.
It contains seven packs of meat - including ribeye steak, two blocks of cheese, four pints of milk, a block of butter, a kilo of potatoes and numerous packs of vegetables.
Thank you @Morrisons for backing our British farmers with this British Food Box, which is full of British Produce AND £1 from every box sold is going to farming charities!

Created to support vulnerable and self-isolating customers, the British Food Box supports UK farmers who have been struggling since the pandemic.
Additionally, the box contains milk and cheese from the Morrisons For Farmers range which returns more money directly into the pockets of producers.
David Potts, chief executive of Morrisons, said the retailer wanted to help farmers while also playing its part in feeding the nation.
"Our farmers produce some of the world’s finest meats, vegetables and cheeses which we want to offer to our customers,” he said.
