Top 3 for ‘Best Organic Retailer in Europe’ in Prestigious European Organic Awards 2024!
The EU Organic Awards are an annual initiative launched by the European Commission to recognize excellence in the organic food sector across Europe.
This accolade was just MASSIVE for our small little organic farm business and means the absolute world to us! We couldn’t do what we do without our amazing team of butchers, sales & background staff, our suppliers and most importantly our loyal customer base, some of whom have been supporting us since the outset of our organic meat business over 20 years ago! We owe this one to you all…
