The creation of the YORKSHIRE sandwich bread
In 2007 Fosters poineered the launch of the first nationally sold sandwich based on 100% locally grown wheat. John Foster brought together multiple partners from the supply chain. Farmer, flour miller, baker, sandwich maker and sandwich retailer worked together. To check out the supply chain the whole team walked the supply chain in a day from soil to sandwich.
Here is the story in pictures:-
The team visit Tom Morrell’s farm Brodsworth Doncaster
One of the Boots techologists helps plough the field (prior to scattering the good seed on the land - I feel a song coming on) 
Then onto Allinsons four mill at Castleford, West Yorkshire
Bag of the white stuff (Flour that is - milled from wheat grown exclusively in Yorkshire) 
Gold - PURE GOLD - Beautiful - Wonderful - Sandwich bread made at Fosters Bakery, Barnsley - entirely from Yorkshire Flour and Yorkshire Water. The wheat for this loaf was grown at the farm of George Moate, Clayton, Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Sandwich range sold by Boots the Chemist made entirely from Yorkshire wheat, flour and bread. A first for the UK.
Fosters Bakery did it first ! Other bigger bakeries have since boasted that they were first but they weren’t, no, not by a full year at least.
