I have Supported greenfields for the past 6 months until the quality and service recently went down the pan. greenfields was a good place to shop but since they cashed in on getting in with Asda quality and service has gone downhill. greenfields farm shop is a very small farm shop and i suppose they thought take if they couldn’t beat the supermarkets they might as well join them. Really disappointed greenfield have gone down this road. i know that they will say there helping local producers get into supermarkets but if it wasn’t for supermarket British farmers and local producers would not be in a crisis. At the end of the day the owner of greenfields is a man in a suit so when he sees a chance to get in with the big supermarkets he takes it. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THEM AS YOU ARE ONLY SUPPORTING ASDA

That's outrageous!
We supply a few local lines to ASDA because for many people they want to do their shopping in one place. If I can convert one person from an ASDA mass produced brand to a locally made line - we have acheived something very special.
None of our producers are forced to supply ASDA. For the few that do, it gives them more sales to helps make their businesses more viable.
Green Fields has thrived in the last year - which is no coincidence that we start to supply ASDA at the same time!
Supporting Green Fields means that you are supporting local producers.
By the way I wear my suit at funerals and special occasions, at Green Fields we prefer a more casual look!
It would be great to talk to you to discuss your feelings...
