Jan Jacob and Anja Baak receive the award from Charlie Shentall.
Jan Jacob Baak, director of Great Glen Charcuterie, said: “We are very proud that we have been awarded runner-up for this category. Producing excellent food of the highest standards by using the natural resource of wild deer on our doorstep has always been our highest priority. It feels great to get the appreciation and recognition from the judging panel.”
The new awards and their gala awards dinner are the first major event of a five-year partnership between Scottish Field magazine and the Scottish Countryside Alliance to celebrate the entrepreneurship of rural businesses.
