MANOR FARM SHOP IS THE BEST SMALL UK FARMSHOP 2014


Manor Farm Shop won FARMA's Best Small UK Farm Shop 2014 at their annual black tie dinner in February at the Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth, Warwickshire with finalists coming from as far as Wales and Scotland.

A trophy was presented to the Select Lincolnshire member on the evening, where finalists were unaware of the winners until the actual announcement.

Talking about Manor Farm Shop, Mike Blee, the awards judge said: "The rustic exterior becomes a light, bright and colourful experience inside the shop. The farm's own produce is superb with carefully selected local products alongside. Smashing."
Press coverage of the award win in Lincolnshire Pride magazine.
Manor Farm Shop is a family run farm in Swineshead, Boston. The award has raised the profile of the shop as customer numbers have increased and there has been a marked increase in Lincolnshire based producers wishing to supply the shop.

The Moses family team have taken great care over sourcing foods from the region. With quality front-of-mind, they support local producers first from crisp producers to flour, reducing food-miles and also enabling small businesses and other farms in the region to benefit from the farm shop's success. In the year, 80-100% of the vegetables in the farm shop are the farm's own, with 100% of other foods being local.

Angela Thompson of Manor Farm Shop said: "It is wonderful to have our efforts appreciated and recognised in trying to promote and raise the profile of quality Lincolnshire produce. We feel honoured as the award is quite prestigious."
