He is also working with Classic Fine Foods to open up new markets in the Philippines.

Lord Newborough said, “I do firmly believe that regular meetings with customers, as well as introducing myself to potential customers is essential in order to explain how we use sustainable farming practices to produce our high-quality meats. Organic farming is all to do with adopting the highest standards of animal welfare standards and removing stress in the production cycle, this produces the highest quality meat. Our customers in Hong Kong are a mixture of international clientele and discerning locals that want to know where their food comes from and how it is produced.”
