Naomi Joy from Vicars of Oakhampton Estate near Stourport BOSSES at an artisan gin company near Stourport says reaching the finals of Amazon's Rural Business Awards is a "real boost" after a tough year. Vicars Gin, located on Oakhampton Estate in Dunley, will represent Worcestershire in the Best Rural Drink Business in this year’s finals later this month. Vicars was established by the Crane family in 1827. The family, now seven generations on, continues to create artisan gin from Worcestershire soil. The Oakhampton Estate currently farms in excess of 2,000 acres of fine, arable farmland. A small proportion of the land has recently diversified, and now produces coriander seed, orris root, and juniper.
