Wicks Manor farm has picked up the honour of Best Charcuterie Product for its Smoked Sliced Ham at this year’s Meat Management Awards.
The Essex farms’s Olde English Sausages and Smoked Streaky Bacon were also finalists in the Best Sausage and Best Bacon categories.
“These awards mean so much to us because they recognise the care, dedication and traditional farming methods that go into everything we produce,” said Fergus Howie, MD at Wicks Manor.
“Our pigs are reared right here on the family farm in Essex, and from there, every step of the process – from smoking to slicing – is done with pride and attention to detail. Having three of our products recognised at such a respected industry event is a huge honour, and it’s all down to the hard work of our fantastic team and the continued support of our loyal customers.”
In the Best Charcuterie category, Wicks Manor beat off stiff competition from Trailhead Fine Foods, Mount Grace Charcuterie Ltd, The Farmers Son and Martin Thomas Butchers.
Mr Wicks added: “For us, this achievement is a real highlight and a reminder of why we love doing what we do: creating delicious pork products for everyone to enjoy. We’re so proud of what we produce here at Wicks Manor and are very grateful for this recognition.”
