What are the benefits?
Animal welfare
All our members benefit from the leading scientific research, veterinary advice and practical farming experience on which these standards are based. Operating to RSPCA welfare standards can improve animal health and biosecurity, reduce mortality, and increase operational efficiency – factors which can all help to lower running costs and boost profits.
RSPCA welfare standards have really helped improve production performance. I am also struck by the attitudes of our stockmen and women – they are much more enthusiastic and enjoy their work more.

Added value
Today the provenance of our food is an important consumer issue. The Freedom Food label helps to differentiate your product from competitors, and reassures consumers that they are purchasing a trusted and recognised brand. Many shoppers are prepared to pay more for higher welfare, and this growing trend has increased the demand for Freedom Food labelled products, which could increase your profits.
Consumers are increasingly aware of food provenance and welfare. Freedom Food farm assurance reassures consumers on both accounts, giving our business a competitive advantage.

Marketing support
Benefit from promotional support, national campaigns, press coverage and national television advertising. Our corporate partnerships with ‘FoodLovers Britain’, the ‘Food for Life Partnership’ and ‘BigBarn’ help Freedom Food to reach even more shoppers than ever before. The scheme also receives support from high profile celebrity chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Antony Worrall Thompson.
Free web page listings on the ‘where to buy’ page, promotional items and press coverage are clear benefits to Freedom Food producers.

We offer combined assessments with other national farm assurance schemes, helping you save time and money, and cutting down on paperwork. Freedom Food members also receive a discount from the Rural Insurance Group.
I have been a member of Freedom Food for over 11 years and have always found Freedom Food assessors to be well trained, professional, efficient and friendly.
