ORGANIC growth at a leading farm estate is not limited to its award-winning products.
Rhug Estate, based near Corwen in North Wales, is experiencing significant expansion in all aspects of its operations.
Home and overseas sales have remained buoyant this year and over past weeks several new faces have joined the Rhug family.
