They combine their non-intensive approach, knowledge of genetics and superior quality feed to produce free-range meat which is packed full of flavour but without artificial additives.

The judges of the competition prized Packington Poultry as highly proactive farming family with ideas to keep the farm profitable and the family on the land.

Robert says, "We are extremely proud to win this award. At Packington we take exceptional pride on our farm environment to ensure that the pigs are bred, reared and finished totally outdoors. We are one of very few pig farms who can genuinely make the claim that we rear our pigs naturally. It is so often the case that free-range pork (http://www.packingtonpork.co.uk/pork/philosophy.htm) doesn't really mean free-range, but here at Packington we live, sleep and breathe a free-range mentality for our animals."
