A pointed cabbage grown at Woodlands Farm has won the fresh fruit and vegetable category at this year’s prestigious organic food awards. The Soil Association Oragnic Food Awards, sponsored by Highland Spring and The Times newspaper, were judged by an expert panel of chefs, restauranteurs, food writers and specialists, alongside names such as Jo Wood and Donna Air. They involved a three day tasting marathon of 900 entries hosted at the Duke of Cambridge in London, the UK’s only organically certified pub.
Andrew Dennis, of Woodlands Farm, said ‘It’s great this award has been won by a Cinderella crop for a change. Pointed cabbage may not be one of the most exotic ’superfood’-type vegetables, but it has the most gorgeous taste which I can only assume is why it won! Many congratulations to Mark Gott who grew this amazing vegetable at Woodlands!’
Following the success of our Summer Open Day (over 1000 people came!) we’re holding an Autumn Day (free admission) at Woodlands on Sunday 28th September. The farm will be open from 10am-4pm. We’d love to see you. A chance to see the farm, meet the animals and taste and buy some wonderful things…
