July 25 sees B-Corp, Popcorn Kitchen launch its eagerly anticipated alliance with the Farm Retail Association, a leading light within the UK’s bustling farm shop movement and a prominent voice within today’s vibrant indie shopping sector.

In July 2025, The Farm Retail Association launched its ambitious #morethanfood movement geared specifically at raising awareness for real food, better ingredients, supporting the UK’s blossoming farm shop community and the local food economy, whilst taking a stand against ultra-processed foods and mundane flavours.  

Today, ever greater numbers of food enthusiasts choose to pro-actively shop locally, supporting best-in-class suppliers, whilst enjoying a truly immersive, hands-on shopping experience that’s so very different from a typical supermarket outing.

In and amongst the hero meats, fruit & veg, bakery and preserves there’s also a growing demand within farm shops for a number of small batch snacks and goodies that faithfully mirror farm shop’s non-negotiable ‘slow food’ movement values of good, clean and fair!

According to Popcorn Kitchen spokesperson, Louise Monk: “Our best-in-class, hand-popped values are very much aligned with everything that the Farm Retail Association is seeking to champion; namely provide the perfect foodie setting for truly differentiated artisanal offerings to stand out and prosper. 

“Our ongoing commitment to involving flavour marriages, best-in-class ingredients and clear sustainable values means that we are perfectly suited to foster ever closer ties with aspirational farm shops up and down the country.”
