Red Tractor Assurance
Rokewood's produce standards are considered to be the industry benchmark, with all UK major supermarkets using these standards as part of their food sourcing and supplier specifications.
Traceability - The Union Jack on the Red Tractor logo confirms that our crops have been produced entirely in the UK, with every step of the produce's journey checked and documented from farm to pack. This means that all Red Tractor Assured foods and drinks can be traced right back through the supply chain to British farms.
Tesco Gold - Red Tractor
Tesco (previously Tesco Nuture) is an exclusive independently accredited scheme to Tesco, it is dedicated to ensuring all fruit and vegetables are grown to environmental and responsible standards.
We're excited to announce that our farm, Rokewood Ltd, had been awarded a Tesco Score of Gold following our recent Red Tractor audit!
M&S - Select Farm Produce Bronze
All M&S Select Farm producers must adhere to current legislative requirements and abide by the UK Red Tractor standard (or equivalent standard outside of the UK). Marks and Spencers have gone beyond these requirements by developing additional criteria that producers must meet to be accepted into M&S Select supply chains.
