Lavenham Butchers the butcher category at the Countryside Alliance Rural Business Awards

FIELD TO FORK WINNERS  FOOD & DRINK  AWARDS 2016

The Criteria, the Judges were looking for individuals or businesses with the ability and vision to produce and market quality food products in this region. These are producers who are passionate about what they do, have the talent and skill to grow and develop and market an outstanding and commercially scalable food product. They also needed to show environmental credentials and demonstrate a contribution to the local community.

We were as a team overjoyed at winning this prestigious award and the opportunities of meeting like-minded people.

Why are we so passionate about our local produce? Why field to fork?

• It is far better  for the environment
• Less travelling time for the animals from farm/field to  the abattoir.
• Less stress for the animals means a better flavour in the meat.

Knowing our meat comes from Local High Welfare passionate farmers, thus ensures our ability to rave about our meat and to give our customers complete trust in Lavenham Butchers.

With Greg stalking and shooting his own deer for the shop, and with our ethos of low food miles and our “meet the farmer” process the judges felt the “field to fork” award should go to us!

We were totally over the moon and very humbled as we were up against some tough opposition.

We thank each and everyone for your nominations!
