ISLE OF WIGHT TOMATO FARMER STARS IN NEW M&S FARM TO FOODHALL ADVERT


Local Isle of Wight farmer, Brian Moralee of APS Produce, recently starred in M&S’ latest Farm to Foodhall campaign alongside Tom Kerridge.

APS Produce has been growing M&S’ Isle of Wight tomatoes in Arreton for nearly 20 years, with over 40 types of tomatoes grown, each one specially selected once ripe to give the perfect taste.

In the advert, Brian explains why the Isle of Wight is the perfect climate for growing Tomatoes, as one of the sunniest places in the UK.

Brian says:
“We’re incredibly proud to be feature in the M&S Farm to Foodhall campaign. It has been an amazing experience working with Tom and the team to showcase the hard work we put in, to ensure we provide the best quality tomatoes possible. We pride ourselves in producing the best and most sustainable products for M&S customers and are so honoured to be part of this campaign!”

Marks & Spencer is pushing to remove additives from its ready meals and sandwiches amid an outcry over so-called ultra-processed foods (UPFs).

The supermarket is in heated discussions with food manufacturers in an effort to get rid of ingredients such as stabilisers, acidity regulators, antioxidants and emulsifiers from products sold under M&S’s Eat Well label, according to The Grocer.

Such additives have long been common in supermarket products but have attracted fierce criticism recently over concerns they could be negatively impacting people’s health.

Retail sales in the UK rose in July, the Office for National Statistics reported Friday. Retail sales volumes are estimated to have climbed 0.5% monthly in July after a decline of 0.9% in June from May.

The June estimate was upwardly revised from a previously reported 1.2% fall. On-year, retail sales growth was 1.4% in July, as the ONS noted that comparably poor weather hurt sales in July 2023.

"Department stores and sports equipment stores reported a boost following summer discounts and sporting events," the ONS highlighted. Sales volumes were up 1.1% in the three months to July compared to the three months to April.

Marks & Spencer is a master at jumping on trends quickly, ensuring we can shop them affordably while they're at their peak. So it's no surprise that the high street brand has been leaning heavily into polka dot, which is now rivalling leopard (M&S is onto that too) as the hottest print of the season.
