The Marsh Farm Outreach team are currently facilitating the development of a brand new estate based social enterprise called 'Just Change Marsh Farm', which will distribute a range of goods purchased directly from the Adivasis people of India and other international partners in a genuine 'community to community' trading arrangement.

The 'community to community' arrangement means that 'Just Change Marsh Farm' is able to sell the tea at prices similar to that of the mainstream brands.

According to Glenn Jenkins of Marsh Farm Outreach team ‘the tea is not only ethically superior it tastes so much better too! We recently took part in a live 'taste test' on our local BBC radio station where the tea was pitted against PG Tips, Morrisons Green, Morrisons Economy, Twinings Breakfast and Tetley's'.

Independent tasters were asked to sample each unmarked cup and to give scores and comments for each, and Just Change Marsh Farm tea come out tops!
