FAIR DEAL AWARDS
Fair Deal Awards are given to buyers who give food producers a fair price.
Lynda Whitcombe of Plantation Cottage Herbs [growers & processors] nominated Helen Saunders and Capers in Pershore High Street who give a fair price for the firm’s products.
Andrew Hemming of Obelisk Farm, Hockley Heath, nominated Waitrose because it gives 3p more per litre for milk than other supermarkets. However, he says, the middleman passes on a poor price to the farmer.
Charlotte and Ben Hollins of Fordhall Farm, Shropshire, are selling all produce [meat and eggs] through their farm shop, so nominated all their customers.
Brian Swift of Hazel Farm, Bickenhill, sells beef direct at Rugby Market to get a better return. At the Royal Agricultural Show in Stoneleigh an award was given to Matthew Mayne of Rugby Market which offers the facility for producers to get a fair price.
