The promotion, which was run in partnership with sister brand Farmhouse Fare on the back of a £2.5 million marketing campaign, seemed like the perfect opportunity to escape to the country for one lucky person. The winner was supposed to be awarded a cheque for £500,000 to be spent on a small farm. Unfortunately, nobody came forward to claim the prize and as a result, no winner was announced.
