Food for Life
The Farm Kitchen were the first caterer in Lincolnshire to have achieved the Gold award from the Food for Life Partnership, and are only 1 of 4 in the country.
The Food for Life Partnership is a national programme dedicated to improving the quality of school meals and changing food culture.
There are huge synergies between the ethos and beliefs of The Farm Kitchen and The Food for Life Partnership. We feel that this award has endorsed as opposed to change what we do.

I like the hot lunches because The Farm Kitchen puts flavour into them and when I had the Shepherd’s Pie it was nearly better than Mums
