Favourite food hero
Winner

Claire Symington of Seldom Seen Farm, Leicestershire

'Claire is a champion of the traditional approach to farming,' says Moyra Fraser, who nominated her. 'After starting with just six geese, she now has a flock of 4,000, all totally free range. Claire has also created an easy-to-slice, three-bird roast - a boned goose stuffed with a boned chicken stuffed with a boned pheasant, all coated in home-made port and orange stuffing. She runs a fabulous seasonal farm shop and mail-order business, too, stocking home-made cakes, chutneys and lots more. The quality of the produce from Seldom Seen Farm is renowned, and Claire is a brilliant example of a woman who's making a real difference in farming.'
