Be Seen To Be Commited To Honest & Transparent Food Chains

We aim to certify 50% of UK restaurants', processors and wholesalers Happerley transparent to producer level by 2020. Next year, we will introduce the Passporting process to every Happerley network, validating the provenance of all produce sold through every chain, from farmer upwards.
