Our Philosophy
Our brands are built around the key beliefs that helped us make our name. Discover why we’re passionate about keeping good nutrition and responsible production at the heart of our business.
The Weetabix Growers Group
All of our Weetabix Biscuit wheat is harvested less than 50 miles from our Burton Latimer mill.
During the last decade, over 350 local farmers have participated in the scheme, growing approximately 75,000 metric tonnes of wheat each year across more than 4 million acres, equivalent to almost 3000 football pitches.
Our Growers Group ensures that only the highest quality British wheat makes it into each and every bowl of Weetabix.
Responsible at every step of the way
