Recent investee company Farmer J has secured £5.5m in additional funding, with a goal for this to be used for expansion within London and internationally. This latest funding round has been lead by VC firm Beringea, with Farmer J ambitiously stating that it is with intention of becoming a global brand.

Founder Jonathan Recanati said this about the fund raise, "My ambition is to build a global brand serving people nutritious, honest, tasty food, made from scratch...The last two years have been all about improving efficiency and improving conversion, and now that sales are back up, you can really see all the hard work coming to fruition.”

Farmer J currently has 10 sites in London and has plans to open a further five this year. Next year it has hopes to open locations on the East Coast of the US, with New York and Boston in mind.
