FRA Summer Road Trip
IMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ
The Farm Retail Association (FRA) was founded on the principles of supporting, sharing, learning and growing together. Building on these values, we are delighted to introduce a brand new member event - the FRA Summer Road Trip.
This three‑day experience brings FRA members together for a programme of farm visits, networking and shared learning. Travelling by coach, the Road Trip includes three carefully planned stops, offering exclusive behind‑the‑scenes visits to member businesses with a PYO‑style experience.
Alongside the visits, there will be plenty of opportunity to connect with fellow members, exchange ideas, and share best practice in a relaxed and informal setting.
