Organic Awards 2014: Why Vote for Us

As you may already be aware our Monthly Meatbox For Four has been shortlisted for Best Box Scheme at the Soil Association’s Organic Awards. We are delighted to be among the finalists in this category and this is where we need you.Whilst the finalists were tried and tested by some of the nation’s food critics and chefs, the winner will be chosen as the result of a public vote. The voting is open throughout September and we would love it if you would take the time to vote for us – it takes just two clicks, honest!If you need a bit more encouragement than that, here are five reasons to vote for us in the Organic Awards:Animal WelfareThe welfare of our animals is our utmost priority, and as such all our animals are kept to the highest organic standards and enjoy free range lives outdoors. Our regular Meat Ups allow our customers to visit throughout the year, seeing for themselves just how happy our animals are, as well as learning the importance of organic farming.Environmentally FriendlyWe place huge importance on the environmental aspect of farming, and that’s why we farm organically without the use of pesticides and chemicals. Everything we do on the farm uses traditional and natural methods – something we are very proud of. From the rearing of animals to the butchery, everything is done on site which helps us reduce food miles and therefore pollution.TraceabilityWe believe that the customer should know exactly where their meat has come from. We sell what we produce directly to you, the customer. Cutting out the middlemen not only saves you money but it means you receive much fresher produce, with no added… anything.Tailored to YouOur monthly meatboxes are created especially for you. Giving you the quality, variety and value you would expect from a farm shop but with the convenience of it being delivered directly to your door. We tailor each box to match your requirements; if there is a meat you don’t eat then we will replace it with something you do. Every box can be customised to your requirements before it’s delivered to you.QualityWe never compromise on quality. We believe our organic produce is second to none, and always strive for the best quality possible. Our meat has been independently judged ‘Best in Yorkshire’ and our sausages have even been a finalist in the search for the ‘Best British Sausage Sandwich’.Cooked by celebrity chefs including James Martin, Jamie Oliver and Raymond Blanc  our produce has achieved great things – even earning us a place as one of Rick Stein’s Food Heroes.To vote for our Monthly Meatbox as Best Box Scheme in the Organic Awards 2014 simply click here.Would you like to sign up for a Meatbox of your very own?
