Middleton on the Wolds based, Soanes Poultry won the award in the Remarkable Local Producer category at the Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTAs) that were celebrated in Hull last week.

"We're proud of our roots in rural East Yorkshire and the contribution we make to the local economy, charities and community groups. We highlight our Yorkshire Wolds provenance in everything we do, from packaging to vans, so it's rewarding to have our efforts commended in this prestigious competition," said Ben Lee, MD.
