Whole Foods was founded in 1980 on the belief that where food comes from, and how it’s grown, matters. It meant creating quality standards, working with suppliers who achieve them, and sharing that information with our customers. And it radically changed the way people understood and shopped for food.
The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 90,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.
Woodheads is one of the best known names in the British meat industry, with a history stretching back over 100 years. Today Woodheads is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wm Morrison Supermarkets PLC, having become one of our first vertically integrated suppliers in 1991.
We are the only major supermarket to own it’s own abattoir and meat processing operations, giving us unique traceability and control over our supply chain. Having our own meat business means we are the only big supermarket to buy cattle, sheep and pigs directly from British Farmers with our own team of specialist livestock buyers.
Our Woodheads operation supplies the majority of British meat to Farmers Boy, including the highest quality beef and pork. Our stringent sourcing policy means that all of our livestock only comes from 100% Farm Assured holdings in the UK.
