What field&flower does

Field & Flower is a UK-based direct-to-consumer online retailer founded in 2011 by James and James Flower, operating from a single headquarters and fulfilment centre in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. The business delivers free-range, traceable British meat, sustainable fish, artisanal cheese, deli items, ready meals and pantry products direct to UK households via its own Magento e-commerce storefront (fieldandflower.co.uk). It serves a customer base of UK consumers who value animal welfare, provenance and sustainability over supermarket convenience, with the founder-led mission of 'reconnecting small farmers doing the right thing with those who care'.

The core commercial engine is a fully flexible subscription service (weekly, biweekly or monthly) supported by one-off orders, gift cards and curated starter boxes (Small, Medium, Large and James's Spring Favourites) starting at £43.43 per box. Pricing is tiered - subscription pricing is consistently lower than one-off equivalent pricing - with a £39.50 minimum order, £4.95/£5.95 weekday/weekend delivery fees, and a 6-month free delivery pass (GETSTARTED) for new subscribers. Loyalty mechanics include free cuts from the second box, a Member Exclusive range after the 10th order, and £10 off every 10th order. The 375+ SKU catalogue spans beef, chicken, duck, lamb, pork, venison, turkey, sustainable salmon/trout, cheese, ready meals, deli and pantry lines, with named product modules including the Values Range, BBQ Range, Ready Meals & Slow-Cooked Range, British Free-Range Chicken Range, Wild Venison Range and Land-Based Silverscale Salmon Range.

The supply chain is differentiated by a source-to-order model (orders confirmed 5 days ahead, hand-picked and delivered fresh in temperature-controlled, recyclable, FSC-certified packaging), 100% farm-to-doorstep traceability, exclusive relationships with small-scale free-range British farmers, and a recent strategic shift to closed-system land-based salmon from First Water (Iceland) and Salmon Evolution (Norway). Welfare standards are reinforced through membership of the Humane Slaughter Association and a high-welfare audit programme. The company remains founder-owned, employs over 40 people, ships thousands of boxes per week nationwide, and donates over 500,000 meals via a FareShare South West partnership established during the 2020 pandemic.

Core offering

Field & Flower sells free-range British meat, sustainable fish, artisan cheese and ready meals directly to UK consumers via its own e-commerce storefront. Customers can subscribe to flexible recurring boxes (weekly, biweekly or monthly) or place one-off orders, choosing from curated starter bundles or building their own box from 375+ SKUs. The company sources exclusively from small independent British farmers and partners who meet its welfare pledge, delivering fresh (not frozen) in temperature-controlled recyclable packaging across the UK.

Product overview

Field & Flower operates as a single unified direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand (not a platform of separately branded products) centred on one core offering: a free-range British meat and sustainable fish subscription-and-shop service delivered fresh from its Somerset HQ to UK homes. The core product is the flexible subscription box (the Small Starter, Medium Starter, Large Starter, and James's Spring Favourites boxes), which sits alongside a Build Your Own Box shop (https://www.fieldandflower.co.uk/shop) of 375+ SKUs. Around this core, the company has layered several named product modules that share the same supply chain and customer account: the Values Range (everyday-value free-range essentials), the BBQ Range (seasonal grilling cuts), the Ready Meals & Slow-Cooked Range (hand-prepared convenience meals), the British Free-Range Chicken Range (slow-grown, family-farmed), the Wild Venison Range (100% wild, never farmed), and the Land-Based Silverscale Salmon Range (closed-system aquaculture from Iceland and Norway). The site also wraps the offering with Recipes and Blog content that supports the products, and a subscription loyalty scheme with member-exclusive ranges and £10 off every tenth order. All modules integrate into a single customer-facing delivery experience: order any 1, 2 or 4 weeks, edit box contents up to five days before delivery, delivered in temperature-controlled recyclable packaging across the UK.

Partnerships

Twelve partnerships are on record, tiered strategic flagship partnership, flagship supply-chain partner, former strategic supplier, industry standards partner, long-standing implementation partner, featured product partner and outsourced logistics partner.

• FareShare South Weststrategic flagship partnershipOthers · 1 January 2020Field & Flower partnered with FareShare South West in 2020 to get food to those most in need during the pandemic. The partnership continues to this day, with the company having donated over 500,000 meals and counting through FareShare South West's foodbanks. FareShare South West is publicly thanked on the homepage and on multiple pages of the site.
• First Water (Iceland)flagship supply-chain partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerField & Flower explicitly describes First Water in Iceland as a partner for its land-based salmon programme. The company moved away from Scottish open-net-pen salmon to land-based closed-system farming for welfare, sustainability and integrity reasons. First Water's pioneering aquaculture systems eliminate the need for antibiotics and pesticides, protect wild fish stocks, and provide a clean, safe habitat. The salmon product line is built around this partnership.
• Salmon Evolution (Norway)flagship supply-chain partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerSalmon Evolution in Norway is named alongside First Water (Iceland) as a "pioneering farm" partner for Field & Flower's land-based salmon. They use closed-system farming to eliminate parasites, prevent escapees, and remove seabed impact, ensuring higher welfare, sustainability and integrity without compromising on taste or quality.
• Wester Ross (Scottish salmon farm, former supplier)former strategic supplierOthersWester Ross is described as Field & Flower's "primary salmon farm" on the How It Works page, using no antibiotics, growth promoters or GMOs, with very low stocking densities (99% water, 1% fish), medicine-free, slowly grown and naturally healthy. However, the FAQs confirm Field & Flower has moved away from Scottish salmon reared in open net pens and is transitioning to land-based salmon from Iceland and Norway — making Wester Ross a former strategic supplier rather than current partner.
• Humane Slaughter Associationindustry standards partnerOthersField & Flower is a member of the Humane Slaughter Association and works closely with this body to ensure best practices throughout its supply chain. The membership is explicitly stated as part of how Field & Flower guarantees high welfare standards alongside its regular farm, producer and abattoir audits.
• Tom & Colong-standing implementation partnerImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerTom & Co is credited in the site footer as the agency that built the Field & Flower website ("Made by Tom&Co" — "A London based Magento E-commerce Agency"). Tom & Co also delivered the 2024 rebrand and new website ("we invested in a brand-new look and website with all the bells and whistles").
• Pieministerfeatured product partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerPieminister pies are stocked and prominently featured across Field & Flower's offers (e.g., Pieminister's Free-Ranger Pie, Moo Pie, Moo & Blue Pie, Kate & Sidney Pie, Fungi Chicken Pie, Wild Shroom Pie) and included at the 2 for £9 and 3 for £15 multi-buy prices. The Pieminister partnership supplies the deli/pie range within the broader Field & Flower box.
• Barber's (cheddar maker)featured product partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerBarber's cheddar is featured across the Field & Flower range — including Barber's 24 Month Aged Vintage Farmhouse Cheddar (190g) in the starter boxes, and Barber's Haystack Cheddar (320g) and Barber's Red Leicester (200g) in the Values Range. Barber's is a recognised British cheddar producer.
• Westcombe (Somerset cheddar)featured product partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerWestcombe Somerset Farmhouse Cheddar (200g) is listed in the Medium Starter box and is referenced as part of the Field & Flower cheese range.
• Dorset Dairyfeatured product partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerDorset Dairy Strained Natural Yoghurt (500g) is featured in the Large Starter box and James's Spring Favourites box, supplying the yoghurt category for Field & Flower's dairy range.
• ChalkStream (trout)featured product partnerStrategic or Co-development PartnerChalkStream Trout Fillets, Pack of 2 (260g) are listed in the Values Range and shop pages as Field & Flower's trout supplier. ChalkStream trout is also referenced in a dedicated recipe (ChalkStream trout & vegetable traybake).
• Hayes (courier / delivery partner)outsourced logistics partnerChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorSweetAnalytics tracking pixels in the homepage HTML reference Hayes (Sweet Analytics client ID 'AT-67bd9a191c024') as a website analytics/optimisation vendor; the company uses an unnamed third-party courier for nationwide next-day delivery (with documented postcode exclusions). The 'Made by Tom&Co' footer and the multi-tier packaging/ice-pack supply chain indicate third-party partners in delivery and packaging.
