Local butcher wins national awards
A GOLD award double has been secured by Ainsty Farm Shop with recognition for two of its bacons.
The Green Hammerton shop was awarded gold status for its dry-cured back and streaky bacons in the 2013 Smithfield Awards.
The awards are an annual national product evaluation showcase contested by Q Guild butchers nationwide.
The York Road shop, run by Stuart and Lily Beaton, who come from generations of farmers, only joined the Q Guild earlier this year and was making its first foray into the Smithfield Awards arena.
Around 360-plus individual products from Q Guild butchers nationwide were submitted for this year’s Smithfield Awards, also known as the Butchers’ BAFTAs.
