The Farm Shop & Café will be competing with seven other farm retailers across the UK for the title of Best Farm Retail Newcomer and five others for the Best On-Farm Restaurant award. Winners will be announced in November.
Doddington Hall was announced the Overall Winner in the Lincolnshire Environment Awards 2008, which took place earlier this year in Lincoln.
“To be a finalist was a great compliment as we were competing with businesses from throughout the East Midlands,” explains Hall’s owner Claire Birch. “I was thrilled with all the awards as they recognise the hard work, commitment and dedication of everyone who works here and the enthusiasm of our customers who really make the most of the Hall. Fingers crossed for the FARMA awards!“
