Popcorn Kitchen joins forces with The Farm Retail Association

Popcorn Kitchen has launched its eagerly anticipated alliance with the Farm Retail Association, a leading light within the UK’s bustling farm shop movement and a prominent voice within today’s vibrant indie shopping sector.

In July 2025, The Farm Retail Association launched its ambitious #morethanfood movement geared specifically at raising awareness for real food, better ingredients, supporting the UK’s blossoming farm shop community and the local food economy, whilst taking a stand against ultra–processed

foods and mundane flavours.

Today, ever greater numbers of food enthusiasts choose to pro–actively shop locally, supporting best–in–class suppliers, whilst enjoying a truly immersive, hands–on shopping experience that’s so very different from a typical supermarket outing. In and amongst the hero meats, fruit & veg, bakery and

preserves there’s also a growing demand within farm shops for a number of small batch snacks and goodies that faithfully mirror farm shop’s non–negotiable ‘slow food’ movement values of good, clean and fair!

According to Popcorn Kitchen spokesperson, Louise Monk, its best–in–class, hand–popped values are very much aligned with everything that the Farm Retail Association is seeking to champion; namely provide the perfect foodie setting for truly differentiated artisanal offerings to stand out and prosper.

“Our ongoing commitment to involving flavour marriages, best–in–class ingredients and clear sustainable values means that we are perfectly suited to foster ever closer ties with aspirational farm shops up and down the country.,” Monk noted.
