Fine Farm Produce Awards 2015

Our Fine Farm Produce Awards recognise the best food and drink being produced by our farms and estates. Now in their 10th year, our awards reward and celebrate the ingenuity of the farmers and producers who occupy the 500,000 acres of farmland in our care. This year 37 producers, in total, were recognised for 62 outstanding food, drink and countryside products.
