THE CORNISH FISHMONGER WINS ‘ONLINE BUSINESS OF THE YEAR’
Wing of St Mawes The Cornish Fishmonger has been awarded ‘Online Business Of The Year’ in the Farm Shop & Deli Awards. Commenting on the accolade Rob Wing, owner said: “When buying fresh fi sh online it is vital that we give our customers as much trust and authority as we can about our service and the quality of our seafood. Winning the ‘Online Business Of The Year” Award helps enormously with that message.
Our customers have now another independent trusted source to reference when choosing between us and our competitors.” The Farm Shop & Deli Awards

EGGSELLENT CHARITY EFFORT PROVIDES CHICKENS TO FAMILIES IN AFRICA
Since launching its campaign to raise money for Send a Cow Blackacre Farm Eggs has so far raised enough money to send 280 chickens to families in Africa. Blackacre Farm is donating two pence from every special 10-pack of eggs sold to raise the money. Every chicken sent is helping families to feed themselves and develop small businesses that last. Com- menting, Dan Wood from Blackacre Farm Eggs said: “The response and support we have had from our retail- ers since launching our new Send a
Cow 10-pack has been fantastic and we really are incredibly grateful to our customers for getting behind us as we work with Send a Cow to help crack poverty and hunger in Africa.” Over the next year Blackacre Farm is aiming to provide 1500 chickens to families in Africa. They are also planning a trip to Kenya this autumn to meet farmers who are receiving support from Send a Cow.
