The Greek Farmer celebrates Aldi product launch

The Greek Farmer’s best-selling Air Dried Beef will be available as a Special Buy in selected Aldi stores across the southeast and east of England.

Based at Langley Hill Farm, the supplier won Aldi’s Next Big Thing, a Channel 4 TV series that gives British businesses the opportunity to pitch their products to Aldi and secure a contract. The Greek Farmer started trading in 2021 after Tony moved to Langley Hill Farm with his family and transformed the farm’s old grain silo into a smokehouse.

The business is the only UK producer of Greek-influenced charcuterie, inspired by Tony’s Greek Cypriot heritage. Tony says:

“We’ve had a whirlwind three years – from starting the business to winning Aldi’s Next Big Thing – and now returning to its stores again in 2024. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in such a short space of time,” he said.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, commented:

“Since their debut on Aldi’s Next Big Thing, The Greek Farmer team has continued to impress us. Tony’s business is a fantastic example of the small British businesses we strive to support, and it’s wonderful to see them back in our stores.”
