Cumbrian excellence shines at national awards ceremony
An environmentally friendly farmer represented the county at the National Farmers’ Union’s Farming Excellence Awards back in March 2004.Tom and Sue Forrester, who own Howberry Farm near Carlisle and who have their own brand of churned butter called Cream of Cumbria, were runners-up in the Great British Food Award category.

They use surplus milk from their dairy farm to produce their own butter and use the buttermilk by-product to bake scones and cakes. Tom and Sue sell through farmers' markets, food fairs and shows.

After the awards ceremony, Sue Forrester, said: “We’ve had a great day. The awards ceremony was fantastic and it’s great to see at first hand the innovation and dedication there is in farming. We were like little fish in a very big pool but we flew the flag for Cumbria and we are both proud and honoured to have been at the awards ceremony.”

The NFU Farming Excellence Awards for 2004 were presented at the NFU Annual Lunch at The Brewery Conference and Events Centre in London on 11 March.
