It all started with a coffee... ☕

After donating a wooden tractor from our shop to Julia’s House, their CEO, Martin Edwards, popped in to collect it. Over coffee & a flapjack, he shared that he was marking his 20th year with the charity, by taking on 20 incredible challenges to raise £100,000.

He mentioned he was still looking for a few final challenges to complete his 20/20 Challenge list, and that’s where Farmer Palmer’s got involved! We are incredibly proud and excited to be part of this fundraising challenge by taking on the huge task of… pulling a 6-tonne tractor!

Yep, you read that right! This will be taking place on Monday 4th August 2025 at Farmer Palmer’s to raise vital funds for Julia’s House.

However tough this challenge may be, it’s nothing compared to what the families supported by Julia’s House face every single day.

At a time when hospice care is under a huge amount of financial pressure, Julia’s House is doing everything they can to continue offering vital services and avoid cuts to care. We're aiming to raise £5,000 as part of Martin’s overall £100,000 target- funds that will help provide specialist care and much-needed relief to families facing the unimaginable.

Every donation makes a difference 💛

Thank you so much,

The Team at Farmer Palmer’s 😊
