The Lebrina-based business received the award for its pasture-raised Berkshire Pork.

Co-owner Daniel Croker said the recognition through the award made the work worthwhile and helped continue to keep the business' product standard at a high level.

"It's good recognition for us especially being a new business," he said.

"We've only been in business for three years and showing pork for two of those, so it's pretty great to be recognised by chefs of Tassie that we produce and grow a really good product."

Fork It Farm has been selling its pork for two years and in the last year started butchering and production on its own site.

Mr Croker said all pork was pasture raised, which he said made a big difference in the quality of the product.

"All the products we produce on-farm we do in an artisanal 'old-school' kind of way - we produce everything preservative and nitrate-free, all the sausages are gluten and filler free," he said.

"It's all done traditionally with natural ingredients and there's a real movement with people that appreciate that now and that's great and helps us out.

"It truly reflects the flavour of the meat as well so it lets the meat shine rather than the other things that go in it."

Fork It's Berkshire pork in particular is of a heritage breed, has more marbling to it and is a darker meat full of moisture and flavour.

"It's what pork used to and should taste like ... we also grow it out a lot slower than a lot of the commercial pigs," Mr Croker said.

"They're fully outdoors all the time, doing what pigs do: eating grass, worms and digging up. We produce a really nice pork from that: a happy pig is a tasty pig."

Mr Croker said business had been steady throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

He said the Fork It Farm was a regular attendee of Hobart's Farmgate Market, has an online store and runs a community-supported agriculture subscription model which has had an uptick in patrons.

"We're in the enviable position of keeping up with demand which is really good," he said.

"Between the online and farm shop and those other avenues we've been pretty lucky we've still been able to successfully sell the pork we've been making which is great."

Other Northern producers who received awards included Elgaar Farms for its organic fresh cream and Tasmanian Natural Garlic and Tomatoes for its heirloom tomatoes.
