A Dunkeld-based deer farm is celebrating after winning a competition to have its Venison Chilli ready meal made available for customers at 30 Scotmid stores across Scotland from Wednesday, 16th February.
Family run Findowie Farmhouse was one of five Scottish businesses to win the Scotmid Scottish Favourites competition, which was launched during Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight in September last year. The competition was created by the convenience retailer to champion local producers and further demonstrate Scotmid’s commitment to Scottish sourcing.
This promotional listing, which will run for three weeks, will help the business to extend its reach and brand awareness throughout the country. The move reflects the retailer’s ongoing ambition to helping small businesses thrive and grow.
John Buttar, Foodservice & Wholesale Manager at Findowie Farmhouse, said: “The promotional listing with Scotmid has supported us in so many ways, not least through the opportunity to sell our product to customers directly in store.
“The Findowie Farmhouse brand was launched with the intention of sharing the family’s beloved venison recipes. We value Scotmid’s commitment to supporting independent retailers like us. We are proud to be showcasing top-quality Scottish venison in our Findowie Farmhouse products.”
Scotmid and Scotland Food & Drink received more than 50 entries from local businesses, which were each judged by a panel of experts.
Kirsty George, Head of Local Sourcing at Scotmid, said: “We are always looking for new ways to diversify and grow our Scottish product portfolio and we were absolutely thrilled with the high quality of entries that we have received for the Scottish Favourites competition.
“Scotland truly has some of the best food and drink in the world and the calibre of local producers is continuing to grow year on year. A massive congratulations to Findowie Farmhouse. We can’t wait to see the reaction from our customers with this delicious, locally produced product.”
