Our corporate partners

Aldi support The Prince’s Countryside Fund in three ways: firstly, they sponsor groups within our flagship initiative, the Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme; secondly, they use the PCF logo on fresh beef and lamb to demonstrate their commitment to British agriculture to customers; and thirdly, we held the first Future Farmers Forum together – a networking event for ambitious young farmers. Aldi’s partnership with the PCF demonstrates their ongoing commitment to British farmers, suppliers, customers and colleagues alike.

The PCF and Barbour have been partners for several years, and in 2021 Barbour kindly renewed this support. Through our joint Countryside Champions programme, Barbour demonstrate their commitment to rural life and a sustainable British countryside.

We were delighted to welcome Berry Bros. & Rudd into the PCF family in 2020. They are kindly contributing 10% of profits from sales of The King’s Ginger Liqueur for the next three years, and we are excited to work together on events in the summer.

Booths are long-term supporters of the PCF and use our logo on several products in their stores. They also engage with our work during National Countryside Week, raise donations through the sale of Christmas cards, and currently sell a special edition tea to mark the 10th anniversary of our partnership.

In 2018, we joined the Jordans Farm Partnership – a unique initiative working with Jordans growers to farm in harmony with the environment and nature and in 2019, Jordans and the PCF established the Sustainable Agriculture Bursary, providing funding, mentoring and networking opportunities for the next generation of farmers. In 2021, Jordans became the PCF’s official Arable Partner – a partnership based on knowledge-sharing sessions and farm tours for farmers taking part in The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme and the Jordans Farm Partnership.

M&S are one of our founding supporters and partner with us at some of the key agricultural shows. Each year, M&S host a farming awards programme, at which the PCF co-hosts the resilience category; it is a great way to celebrate diversity and development within The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme.

McDonald’s UK & Ireland are working with us to support farm businesses and ensure they are prepared for forthcoming changes in the industry. The programme, named Ready for Change, equips farm businesses with the tools to adapt their activities and make informed decisions about their businesses for the future. You can read more about our partnership with McDonald’s UK & Ireland here.

Morrisons kindly sponsor groups within The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme to ensure they are supporting small family farms across the UK. In addition, Morrisons showed incredible support of the farming community during the Covid-19 pandemic. From April 2020 to March 2021, Morrisons have contributed £1 from the sale of every Buy British Box – a food box comprised of classic British produce – to the PCF.

In 2020, New Holland and the PCF created the Up to Speed scheme – an amazing opportunity for three beneficiaries to win the use of a New Holland machine for a whole year. In 2020 and 2021, a telehandler, a T6 tractor and a Boomer compact tractor were loaned to three lucky winners. The scheme runs again in 2022. Find out more here.
