Awarded for the best taste, quality and production from National Trust Farms.
|
Following the launch of the Fine Farm Produce Awards in 2006, farmers and growers from National Trust estates have been encouraged to enter their best food and drink to be judged for these prestigious awards. |
The emphasis is very much on delicious tasting, top quality produce but equally on rewarding and supporting producers who hold animal welfare, local production and traceability as key.
The requirements are rigorous: producers must meet with National Trust environment standards and, for livestock and dairy products, be certified organic or Freedom Food (RSPCA) assured.
And of course the products have to look, smell and taste superb. A taste panel makes sure of these three criteria by testing for appearance, aroma, texture and flavour.
The winners have to pass high production standards and satisfy the taste panel judges to be worthy of the award.
