A pair of Nottinghamshire strawberry farmers have been featured in Marks and Spencer's latest TV campaign. In the advert, Stephen and Jenny Tasker, of Retford, are seen talking to Tom Kerridge about their red diamond strawberries.
The video was first aired on Friday, June 19, as Tom speaks to the farmers about the lengths they go to in order to deliver the highest quality products. The pair explain that they leave their strawberries to ripen for longer to ensure the sweetest flavour and juiciest strawberry possible, with only the biggest and best strawberries picked for M&S customers.
Their Nottinghamshire farm is powered 100% by green energy, which is generated from an on-site wind turbine, solar power and biomass boiler. Geared towards nature-friendly farming, the Retford Red Diamond growers dedicate at least 10 per cent of their land to wildlife by planting wildflower meadows and wildlife corridors, which provides food for both honeybees and bumblebees.
