Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards 2026
A shop which offers a variety of high-quality speciality foods from around the world (though often with a local focus) which require little or no preparation on the part of the customer. These can include cheese, salads and charcuterie – and often coffee – which can be taken home, or consumed on-site if the store has a seating area.
(The large and small category will be defined by the turnover stated in the entry form as follows: If annual turnover is £600,000 or under please enter the small category. If annual turnover is £600,000 or more please enter the large category.)
A retailer that is set in or nearby a farm which sells fresh products grown, picked or reared on the farm itself or from specialist producers in the local area. Products can include everything from meat, fish and cheese – and the shop may include a café area.
