To give our story the treatment it truly deserves, we’d need a couple of props: a large family photograph album and a world atlas. The album would have pictures dating from the present day all the way back to our founder Charles Taylor over 130 years ago. And the atlas would have many dog-eared pages, including those featuring Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Java and Rwanda. Because our tale is both a local and a global one. Though still a Yorkshire family business, that family’s now an extended one, and includes honorary members – farmers and their relatives – whose welfare and livelihood matter dearly to us.
