Welcome to Meadow
We have long-standing relationships with large blue-chip manufacturers, from Bakkavor to Premier Foods and Unilever, built on the quality of our products, customer service, consistent delivery, and market expertise.
We have a dedicated team of food specialists focused on product innovation, engineering and improvement, and a leading reputation for providing bespoke bulk ingredient solutions. We work with customers to create the products they want and deliver the services they need.
We are the essential ingredients in many of the UK’s favourite food brands.
Meadow has partnered with Ben & Jerry’s since 2020, as an extension of its existing relationship with Unilever.
The Challenge
Ben & Jerry’s Caring Dairy programme supports farmers to improve their sustainable practises, such as grazing cows for 120 days. Meadow was asked to recruit UK farmers to the Caring Dairy programme through its network.
The Solution
Working closely with Ben & Jerry’s, Meadow set up facilities for segregated supply, ensuring the Caring Dairy criteria are met and protected. We supported farmers in setting up their own committee alongside three annual workshops to brainstorm how to meet their goals.
The Results
All farmers have been heavily engaged with the programme and Ben & Jerry’s farms have seen a 22% reduction in CO2. Meadow started with 15m litres of milk supplied to Ben & Jerry’s and today this has grown to 60m litres – all with the lowest carbon footprint in the UK.
