The Black Farmer®
Gluten Free Sausages
Champions Coeliac Awareness Week
May 11 – 17, 2009.

Gluten Free advocate, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones aka The Black Farmer®, will be championing a range of initiatives supporting Coeliac Awareness Week.

“Get Tested” will be his mantra encouraging people not to suffer in silence. All The Black Farmer® products will have eye-catching stickers during this period. Visitors to the brand’s new website will see mini-films with experts explaining what symptoms to look out for, as well as the first hand views of sufferers. They can get advice on what foods to avoid as well as find a directory of support groups up and down the country. The Black Farmer® will also be sponsoring Coeliac UK’s ‘Awareness Raising Champion Award’ celebrating the person who has done the most to bring about awareness of this condition.

“As a producer of gluten free only products this goes some way to helping sufferers feel safe in their food choice. My commitment has always been that The Black Farmer® will only ever sell gluten free products – good food that can be enjoyed by the sufferer and the whole family alike,” says Wilfred.


Coeliac disease is a wheat intolerance that affects the lining of the stomach. Sufferers experience a number of symptoms, which all too often can be put down to other things.

“At least one in one hundred people suffer with Coeliac disease, with more being diagnosed every year. By increasing awareness of the symptoms of this disease we can help many who are currently suffering needlessly. Modern medicine has advanced sufficiently that anyone who worries that they may have the disease can “Get tested”.

“If you’re following a wheat or gluten free diet, regular supermarket shopping can be a nightmare,” he adds. “For many sufferers, to be able to buy good quality, great-tasting, gluten free products in their local store is a real treat. We are taking advantage of Coeliac Awareness Week to really drive home our gluten free message – and make it even easier for those who have yet to discover The Black Farmer® Gluten Free sausages.”

Gluten Free sausages

My husband found your gluten free sausages in a recent foray to Sainsbury\'s (We dont normally shop there) After having tried several types of gluten free sausages I have to say they are the best I have ever had and it was such a brilliant change to be able to eat some after all this time. I just wanted to say thank you so very much for your apreciation of people needing wheat free products and please keep up the good work and I will certainly be buying them again. thank you Tracey

Who else  has a problem finding good gluten free sausages ? 

The Black Farmer

I am the only black farmer in the UK. I have a brand of food products under my label 'The Black Farmer'. All my products are gluten free - British sausages, dry cure bacon, chicken + bbq chicken and ham. I believe that people who have a wheat and gluten intolerance should not be condemned to a life of bland, tasteless foods.

In the UK my brand is now part of the mainstream market. The brand has grown with strong consumer support and its continuing success is dependent on more people asking for The Black Farmer in the supermarkets. Do post your comments here or visit www.theblackfarmer.com Or go to twitter for regular updates.

I also run a scholarship scheme that encourages city dwellers to discover their rural side. This is an annual scheme run in conjunction with Cirencester Agricultural College. For those people interested there is a scheme being run in August 2009, but you will need to apply by June for a chance to get a place. Again details can be found on my website.
