Meatless Farm gives customers chance to put money where their mouth is

Yorkshire-based plant-burger and vegan sausage maker launches 5m crowdfunding drive

Plant-based burger and sausage maker Meatless Farm is giving its customers the chance to put their money where their mouth is and invest in the fast-growing company, which hopes to follow in the footsteps of runaway alt-food" successes such as Oatly.

The 5m crowdfunding programme is the first time the Yorkshire-based company has offered retail investors the chance to invest with a starting stake of just 10. It comes at a time when eating meat-free meals a couple of times a week is no longer niche, according to its founder, Morten Toft Bech.
