That’s a tough one – Jessie. I know what you mean – everybody has to start somewhere, and some great foods might be only available, for example, at a farmer’s own farm shop. However, the feeling was that putting in 3 outlets would make sure that the applicants have the intention of growth and be less likely to put in something just to win an award that they don’t really have any intention of selling. I know from starting out, getting three outlets wasn’t much of a problem at all… Still, it’s early days, and I’m sure we’ll be tweaking to get it right! Thanks for your comments.

Why do the producer’s have to sell in three places? I know so many nice foods worthy of awards with only one stockist, this is exactly what they need to get more stockists!

Your blog shows up some strange characters in firefox by the way… hope that helps in some way
Really enjoy reading it!!
