Following a six month application and judging process which this year attracted over 70 entrants, the winners of the renowned BBC Good Food Show Bursary Awards have now been announced.
Recognizing passionate, dedicated and outstanding artisan producers, the Bursary Awards offer winners a way to showcase their products to tens of thousands of food fans free of charge at either MasterChef LIVE or the BBC Good Food Show Winter.
Katy Truss, Manager of the Producers' Village at the BBC Shows says..."We are delighted to be able to award these outstanding producers with an opportunity to attend one of our shows, and know our visitors will be as impressed with them as we are. They were up against some of the finest small producers in the UK and had to impress the discerning BBC Good Food editors, so to win this award really proves they are the best."
