SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Nearly 700 people gathered on Friday night at San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building for the third annual Seedling Projects Good Food Awards Ceremony to celebrate this years’ winners. Chosen from more than 1330 entries, S. Wallace Edwards and Sons’ Surryano Ham was selected as a champion in the Charcuterie Division for the third year in a row. The weekend’s attendance reinforced the signs that responsibly produced food is a growing sector of the US economy and a thriving force within the consumer marketplace in America.
Speaking on behalf of the company, Sam W. Edwards III, President and Cure Master, said “We’re truly honored to have our Surryano Ham receive the Good Food Award for a third consecutive year, and we’re proud to produce ‘The Great American Country Ham’ using family recipes that date back to the original Jamestown Settlement. I also applaud Seedling Projects whose commitment to responsibly produced foods is good for both producers, and most importantly, consumers from coast to coast.”
Good Food Awards Director Sarah Weiner commented, “More than in past years, I am blown away by how delicious everything is. There is no doubt that this is the most impressive group of Good Food Award winners to date, and it is a true reflection of what is happening around the country.”
