Awards Success for Treberfedd Farm Holiday Cottages

This year saw the inclusion of an online consumer vote, where the public were able to vote for their
favourites in each category throughout Organic September – a month long celebration of all things
organic, led by the Soil Association [2]. The awards received over 11,000 public votes!
The awards were presented at a glittering ceremony at the STEAM museum and exhibition centre
Swindon, by writer, broadcaster and comedian Hardeep Singh Koli. Farm Manager Jack Cockburn,
Holiday Centre manager Gemma Dann and Housekeeper Rebecca Lockyer all travelled to Swindon
to collect the award.

The Organic Award for Treberfedd Farm comes as a welcome boost for the business just as the new
luxury ‘Hobbit Houses’ on the farm are unveiled to guests this Autumn. “We’re looking forward to
welcoming holiday makers to our new hobbit houses in 2015. Winning the award will definitely help us
attract more visitors to this part of Ceredigion. The hobbit houses are completely original eco houses
with grass roofs and a stunning view down the valley – it will be lovely to see people enjoying an
organic hobbit holiday on the farm!” said Jack


“We jumped at the chance to enter this year’s awards. Over the last 14 years we’ve quietly worked
away to make Treberfedd into a high quality green haven for holidaymakers at the heart of
Ceredigion. It’s fantastic to win the best organic place to stay award and thank you to all the people
who voted for us” Said Jack Cockburn, 35, farmer at Treberefedd.

The judges said about Treberfedd: “The prize for innovation goes to Treberfedd Farm for their new
hobbit houses. Organic credentials are a given here with a clear vision and attention to detail. A
fantastic organic place to stay”

“We’re delighted to win the award for best organic place to stay in the UK. It’s lovely for us and our
customers to receive this award in recognition for the organic holiday haven that we’ve worked hard to
create here” said Jack Cockburn, Farmer at Treberfedd.

The awards have been showcasing the best in organic for 28 years. 2014 sees an expanded range of
categories for the first time so that organic fashion, restaurants, health and beauty products and even
holidays can be recognised.
