Fairfields Farm is celebrating a string of major accolades, securing two Great Taste Awards, a Family Business of the Year for Essex award from Business Awards UK, and a triple shortlisting in the Great British Food Awards.
The Great Taste Awards, the world’s largest and most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme, recognised two of Fairfields Farm’s delicious hand cooked crisp flavours. Its Bacon & Tomato flavour wowed judges with its sweet tomato top notes and the savoury, smoky depth of bacon to finish. Meanwhile, the Sea Salt & Black Pepper crisps impressed with its confident seasoning with plenty of black pepper and well-judged salt, earning it a place among the nation’s favourite snacks.
The business also took home the title of Family Business of the Year for Essex at the Business Awards UK. Founded by husband-and-wife team Robert and Laura Stathern, Fairfields Farm is rooted in three generations of farming heritage in Wormingford, Essex. The brand is committed to using regenerative farming techniques, its strong family values, and the exceptional quality of every crisp it produces.
Further national recognition comes from the Great British Food Awards, where Fairfields Farm has been named a finalist in three categories. The brand’s Mixed Selection Box (24 x 40g) has been shortlisted in the Delivery Boxes category, Sweet Chilli in Savoury Snacks, and the recently launched Chorizo & Red Wine flavour in the Free From category. This recognition highlights the brand’s dedication to bold flavour innovation and uncompromising quality.
Robert Stathern, Co-founder at Fairfields Farm, commented: “We’re incredibly proud to see our hard work and passion recognised by such respected awards. From our family farm to the hands of crisp lovers across the country, we put care into every step of the process, from planting the potatoes to cooking each batch to perfection. Our mission has always been to create crisps that showcase the best of British farming while delivering unforgettable flavour. These nominations and our Great Taste Award win are not just a testament to our products, but to our amazing team, our loyal customers and our brand values.”
