A CO-OPERATIVE of 40 Yorkshire pea farmers will feature on Channel 4’s flagship food programme –The Food Chain – on Monday, April 18th.

"Yorkshire Peas" is the only farmer owned and operated brand of frozen peas on the market and members pride themselves on quality and full transparency in farming.

Matthew Hayward, director, said: "Our peas are grown on 40 family farms in the Yorkshire Wolds and farmers are fully in control over every step of the process, including our freezing facility which is owned and operated by one of our farmers.

"We’ve always been proud of what we grow, and we hope this programme will help consumers consider the hard work, science and graft that goes into producing great food."

Yorkshire Peas are sold in selected regional Tesco stores, all Booths stores and good independent retailers and farm-shops across Yorkshire.
