Mr Kane produces chicken which is processed by Moy Park and sold under the M&S brand across the UK. He said "I am delighted to have won the 'Champion of Champions' award for sustainable farming. Our poultry house has been designed to the highest welfare specifications and includes double glazed windows to allow the birds to enjoy natural light. We also continue to reduce our carbon footprint and focus on high animal welfare, information sharing, animal husbandry, attitude to the environment and the preservation of the family farm near Ballyclare.
