Enjoying: British Farming Awards Finalists

We’re celebrating along with our and sister company Wold Top Brewery having reached the final of the Diversification of the Year (Large) category in the 12th annual British Farming Awards.

Co-founder of both Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery and Wold Top, Tom Mellor, said:

“We’re proud that Hunmanby Grange farm sustains the two businesses with home-grown barley and provides employment for over 40 local people. We’re naturally delighted to have been shortlisted for a second prestigious farming award.”

The winners will be announced at a dinner at The Vox, Birmingham on October 17th. We face competition from Scottish businesses The Rhynd and Marshall’s Farm Shop and Kitchen, Otter Tarn in the Lake District and Staffordshire business Play at Lower Drayton Farm.

The British Farming Awards, sponsored by Morrisons and organised by Farmers Guardian, celebrate pioneering farmers across all sectors who are leading in areas of technology, science, food production and sustainability. The black tie event is attended by more than 800 farmers and industry professionals from across the UK.
