On Sunday the 21st of July 2019 Simone and Tanya took part in the annual Run Norwich event.
Run Norwich is an award-winning 10-kilometre road race, organised by the Norwich City FC Community Sports Foundation (CSF), that takes place in the heart of Norwich’s beautiful and historic city centre.
An event not for the faint hearted! Especially with the soaring temperatures we have been experiencing.
Well done Simone and Tanya!

Duffields were very pleased to support Open Farm Sunday this Year
Participating farms across the country open up their farms to the general public, for a day,to learn more about how their food is produced.
This year Duffields attended the event at Lewis Partners of Shotford Harleston Norfolk
This is a dairy and arable farm located in the beautiful Waveney Valley on the Norfolk Suffolk boarder.
Over 4000 members of the public attended
We displayed a range of animal feeds and the raw materials that go into feeds used on farms .It was also an opportunity to explain to the public the processes and extensive quality control procedures involved in producing top quality safe animal feeds for use on UK farms
Increased demand at our Yeovil feed mill means Duffields are embarking on a large scale project to significantly expand production capacity.
This is a 3 phase 12 month project
Phase 1 is currently underway with installation of 6 new finished product bins which will increase our finished product storage capacity by over 50%
