Britain’s Prince Charles is "delighted" to hear a farm shop he once opened has won an award.
The Prince of Wales heaped praise on Bodnant Welsh Food, an artisan farm shop based at Furnace Farm in Conwy Valley, Wales, via the Clarence House Twitter account, for scooping the BBC Good Food prize for Best Farm Shop in Britain.
A tweet on the official Clarence House Twitter account read: "The Prince is delighted to hear that @FoodCymru, opened by HRH in 2012, has won the @BBCGoodFood award for best farm shop in Britain. (sic)"
As well as an English congratulatory message, the prince’s Twitter account also wrote the message in Welsh: "Y mae’r Tywysog yn falch o glywed bod @FoodCymru, a agorwyd ganddo yn 2012, wedi ennill gwobr @BBCGoodFood fel siop fferm orau Prydain."
Charles is known to enjoy a spot of farming himself as he sells his own organic eggs in farm shops but earlier this year there were concerns for the business after 24 of his chickens were killed by a fox.
The 65-year-old royal was forced to temporarily close his Close Farm organic egg business in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, south west England, after the animal attacked his chicken coop, killing 24 of his prize birds.
