Farmer Shareholder


If you have accrued loyalty bonus points over the past year, we’re pleased to advise that you will receive your bonus, paid in the form of a gift card or e-voucher, in January 2025. For the 2024-25 financial year, the scheme continues in its current format. The loyalty bonus is directly linked to the performance and profitability of the Mole Valley Farmers business. As such, the value of those points will be determined at the end of this current financial year (September). The relevant bonus will then be redistributed back to Farmer Shareholders through gift cards or e-vouchers to spend back within the Mole Valley Farmers business.
Since we were first founded in 1960, Mole Valley Farmers has existed for the greater good of its Farmer Shareholders, ensuring we maintain a strong sense of purpose to improve productivity, profitability and sustainability on farm.
