It was great to be able to pop by
and meet Tom Stephenson at WMH Farm Fresh Meats in Haydon Bridge and do my meat
shopping. The business is shortlisted in the butchers’ category at the
Countryside Alliance Awards, also known as the Rural Oscars. The northern
winners in each category will be announced soon, with the winners going through
to the national final in London, which has the Environment Secretary Michael
Gove as one of its judges. WMH Farm Fresh Meats gets all of its meats from
local farms, so it is a fantastic example of our brilliant local businesses. It’s
so important to support local businesses which are the lifeblood of our communities- use them or lose them.
