Farm Show & Deli Awards Blog 

"When awards are as hotly competitive, important and coveted as these, then everyone really is a winner, because together, they represent so much enormous talent and hard work, blood, toil, tears and sweat!

Winning in three categories is so humbling, but it gives us the chance to celebrate with the real stars who made it all happen: our brilliantly talented staff; amazing farmers who are so passionate about their rare breeds and extensive farming environments; and our loyal and discerning customers who’ve sustained this business for 174 years."
