TREEN FARM NEAR LAND'S END, , AWARDED WORLD RENOWNED ANIMAL WELFARE AND GRASSFED CERTIFICATIONS

--Cornish farm uses sustainable agriculture methods to earn Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW certification for its pasture-raised laying hens and Certified Grassfed by AGW dairy cattle--

CORNWALL (JULY 22, 2020)--The herd of dairy cattle and flock of laying hens at Treen Farm are now Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World (AGW). The dairy is also Certified Grassfed by AGW. Treen Farm is among the first in Europe to earn these respected certifications.

One of a portfolio of leading farm certifications offered by the respected international certifier, A Greener World, the Certified Animal Welfare Approved (AWA) by AGW label verifies that animals are raised outdoors on pasture or range in accordance with world-renowned welfare standards using sustainable agriculture

methods on an independent farm. Newly launched in the UK, AWA is part of the suite of "Certified By" seals offered by A Greener World Global, along with Certified Grassfed and Certified Non-GMO. Certified Grassfed by AGW is an optional, additional accreditation for Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW farmers raising cattle, sheep, goats or bison according to the Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW high-welfare standards and a 100 percent grassfed feeding protocol. This is the only grassfed label with meaningful, audited animal welfare standards.

AGW is globally recognised and rooted locally, driving regional access to values-based markets. Following success in Ireland, South Africa, the United States, Canada and Central America, A Greener World was invited to launch in the UK by local farmers seeking market differentiation through straightforward label claims. Under the leadership of Executive Director Wayne Copp, the newly formed A Greener World Europe and UK operates independently of the other regions.

Treen Farm is a 150-acre fifth-generation dairy farm, nestled at the top of valley stretching across to Treen Cliff, Treryn Dinas and the world-famous , all Sites of Special Scientific Interest which form part of Bay and its stunning beaches. Run by Chris and Paula Hall, the farm is also home to self-catering and Bed and Breakfast accommodation. The Hall family raises 25 pedigree Guernsey organic dairy cattle and followers, as well as a small flock of organic laying hens on their property. The flock of hens is allowed to roam free and forage on well-managed pastures, while the dairy cattle graze the species-rich grassland fields. The farm uses rotational grazing practices and sustainable farming techniques, which results in lower environmental impact and a higher quality product.

With the growing disconnect of consumers from the source of their food and increasing demand for meaningful welfare standards, Treen Farm found it essential to have third-party validation demonstrating their exceptional practices to a market hungry for truthful information about their food.

A Greener World UK Executive Director Wayne Copp says,

"We are thrilled to partner with Treen Farm in celebrating their farm, and our growing family of farms in the UK. It has never been more critical for farmers to be fully understood by consumers, and we are honoured to support this through an uncomplicated, independent and credible certification marque for labelling that can be trusted to mean what is says on that label: Grassfed. Animal -- Welfare -- Approved.

Treen Farm's certifications from A Greener World recognise loud and clear that high standards of animal welfare and environmental management are not only good for farmed livestock and the planet -- but that labelling with our seal makes good commercial sense in speaking clearly and directly to consumers seeking food they can feel good about. What Treen Farm has achieved is nothing short of an inspiration for all forward-thinking UK producers."
