Now in their 8th year, The Yorkshire Post is proud to once again, recognise and celebrate a cross section of businesses, farms, organisations and individuals that have excelled in the rural community in Yorkshire.
The overriding emphasis of this year’s Yorkshire Post Rural Awards is centred on what is currently happening on farms, rural businesses and with rural events (in the past 12-18 months). This, however, does not restrict any farm or business from being nominated for their work over many years.
