Farm Yard Ales Wins Prince’s Countryside Fund

We want to say big congratulations to Steven Holmes, our Farm Yard Ales client, who won a brand new Land Rover Sport Discovery through the Prince’s Countryside Fund scheme.

On hearing the news he’d won, Steven said, “the car has landed at the right time for Farm Yard Ales, as the build of the microbrewery begins and the start up of the business really gets underway. The Discovery Sport will be one of the hardest working machines Farm Yard Ales has, being used for meetings, collecting items, delivering samples and towing a cask or two when the ales are brewed.”

Since early last year, we’ve been working with Steven to develop his Farm Yard Ales brand, a microbrewery he’s building on his family farm that’s had to diversify due to the low milk prices.

The new Land Rover will make life for Farm Yard Ales so much easier and we’re really excited for the grand opening!

Waitrose New Farm Friendly Advert

We’ve become slightly obsessed with watching the Waitrose Live From the Farm stream on YouTube.

This has come about as part of Waitrose new marketing campaign to show customers that they sell free-range, British produce. It’s such a simple but effective way of getting a point across, without the whole thing feeling forced and “staged”.

Granted, a lot of the footage is of the animals grazing and wandering around, not the most exciting viewing, but occasionally there’s the odd bit of video gold with a cow sniffing the lens or a chicken strutting past.

Working for a marketing company from a farm, we just thought it was a novel bit of work from Waitrose!
