- A Shropshire food producer and retailer has been voted Farm Retailer of the Year at the 2013 FARMA awards
The Ludlow Food Centre, in Bromfield, won the accolade because it produces its own food, which can be seen by the public via the glass-fronted dairy, butchery, jam and pickle kitchen, bakery, coffee roasting room and ice cream parlour.
It is also one of the largest employers in the region, with over 80 local people working in the kitchens, shop and restaurant.
Edward Berry, managing director of the Food Centre, said, “To win this award is the highest honour in our sector. It is testament to the passion and quality of our staff, the food they produce and the local food made by artisans in this region.
“Our staff makes us the business we are. It is because of their talent, commitment and the quality of their food that we have been able to reach such a high standard. We make more than half the food we sell using ingredients from our estate, Shropshire and its surrounding counties.”
