The 2nd Best Farm Shop in the UK

You might have seen the headlines already – we were recently named the second best farm shop in the UK following a piece of research conducted by HelloFresh!

Second. Out of the whole country. Wow!

Now, of course we’re incredibly proud. It’s no small thing to be recognised on a national scale for doing what we love – championing fantastic produce, supporting our community of independent producers, and creating a food-lovers’ paradise right here in Kent.

Famous competition

And, as to who pipped us to the post - it was none other than Jeremy Clarkson and his now iconic Diddly Squat Farm Shop.

We could pretend we’re annoyed and we could start muttering about TV cameras and celebrity status. But, if there’s one thing we love more than good food, it’s a good bit of banter, and we can't wait to take you on again next year Jeremy...

Perhaps more importantly, if coming in just behind Mr. Clarkson means even more people are inspired to support independent food & drink retailers, then that’s a win for everyone.

What was measured

Now back to what matters: this recognition means a lot to us. 

HelloFresh looked at farm shops up and down the country, scoring them on everything from quality to pricing, social presence, customer experience and the range on offer. And we’re absolutely chuffed that our commitment to provenance, people and good food has landed us in such esteemed company.

So, here's to second place... (and watch out Jeremy, we're coming for you!).
