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.

Long Clawson Dairy is a producer of Award-Winning Speciality Cheese including Blue Stilton®, Rutland Red and a range of blended products. These products are supplied UK-wide, as well as being exported to over 30 countries worldwide.
As a traditional company, Long Clawson Dairy is well known for its quality and innovation. In recent years it has been awarded several accolades including the highest award of supreme champion at 3 cheese shows.
Over 100-years ago in 1911, Thomas Hoe Stevenson founded the dairy as a farming cooperative, which remains unchanged today. The company has grown somewhat since then and is now supplied with 58 million litres of milk per year by over 40 farms, within the three neighbouring counties of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
In 1996 Stilton® was awarded a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status. Meaning if a cheese is to bear the Stilton® name, it must be produced using milk from these three counties (amongst other stipulations).
Our Cheese can be purchased from all leading UK supermarkets, as well as selected independent stores and from our on-site shop (see website for further details including opening times).
