Radwinter Wild Game Company is the enterprise of Gilly and Jeremy Kiddy, who converted a grain store at their farm in Radwinter Park into a processing plant.

The business was opened on Monday, by Jim Paice, MP for south east Cambridgeshire and shadow minister for agriculture and rural affairs, and will provide prepared ‘oven-ready’ game for the public and catering trade.

This will include venison, pheasant, partridge, pigeon, hare and rabbit.

Gilly said: “As there wasn’t a local outlet for fresh game generated from their shooting activities we have significant support from the shooting fraternity.

“I intend to sell at farmers’ markets and through on-line shopping facilities at our website.

“We are a local enterprise supplying sought after, locally produced fresh food, offering traceability and consumer confidence in our products – and a reduction in food miles.”

Funding came from the Rural Development Programme for England via the East of England Development Agency and backed by the Country Land and Business Association.
