David and Jayne Newman, who run the popular Stroud Hill Park near Pidley in Cambridgeshire, won the top caravan site award at the Farmers Weekly Diversification Farmer of the Year 2010.
The couple received the award at the annual ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on the 7th October.
Guests staying at the Newmans’ 60-pitch caravan site on their 62-hectare farm benefit from an award-winning restaurant serving local produce and home-reared meat, as well as the use of fishing lakes and tennis courts.
All development has been carried out with care for the environment in mind, and wildlife diversity encouraged in the native woodland and wetland habitats.
Judges were impressed by the energy shown by Mr and Mrs Newman in researching their ideas and executing them to a high standard.
They commented “David and Jayne have shown outstanding skill and made the most of the resources available. They understand their customer needs and have tailored their business to suit. They have shown huge energy in converting a small family farm into a successful business offering quality recreation and conservation.”
“We were honoured to receive the award from Farmers Weekly,” said Jayne Newman. “Our motivation has always been to keep the family farming business alive and sustainable. The fact that our diversification plans have worked out so successfully, is down to a lot of hard work and a terrific team here at Stroud Hill Park.”
