Will and I were at the Devon Tourism Awards last night held at Sandy Park. The awards are a celebration of all that Devon has to offer and this year in association with Food and Drink Devon a producer category was introduced. It was good to meet a lot of other great local producers and we were absolutely delighted to pick up two Gold awards - one for our Handmade Lamb and Mint Pie and one for our Red Ruby Steak. It rounds off a brilliant year for us in terms of awards and it's so nice to see all of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes here at Pipers Farm being recognised.

We were also pleased to see some of our partners do particularly well. Compton Pool Farm won Gold in Self Catering Establishment of the year and Gidleigh Park scooped not only two Gold awards but were also crowned the Winner of Winners! So big congratulations go out to them aswell.

2011 Taste of the West Retail Awards

We are delighted to have been awarded Silver in the Taste of the West Retail awards! The Taste of the West Awards, established seventeen years ago, are now one of the most highly respected in the food and drink industry. Judging panels were made up of industry experts including chefs, food writers and trade buyers. We fought strong competition with entries from all over the South-West, but were thrilled that our shop was awarded the Silver prize in the Local Retail Outlet category. The category recognises food shops who excel in offering local produce, along with superb standards of customer service and a good overall shopping experience.

This latest award follows a successful run at the national Great Taste Awards earlier in the year, where we won five Gold awards for the high quality of our meat. It's a great addition to the collection as it recognises the other part of what we feel Pipers Farm offers, which is a service that is second to none. In our shop you'll find knowledgeable staff, tasters on the counter, longer opening hours and a free local delivery service. And of course, an absolute commitment to sustainable and local sourcing.
