Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards Reveals their 2025 Finalists Ahead of April Show 

The Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards, championed by Fieldfare and in partnership with The Grocer, are renowned in the sector for recognising and rewarding some of the UK’s best loved specialist retailers, pillars of their respective communities and champions of great produce and sustainable practice.

Supported by Fabulous Farm Shops, Farm Retails Association and Go Jute, the shortlist for the 2025 Awards has been announced, with businesses across the UK in line to win best in category, best in region and the overall accolade ‘Retailer of the Year’.

Last November Fortnum & Mason in London played host to the Judging Day, where an esteemed panel of judges came together in person at for a day of deliberations and decisions. From this they have created their shortlist of category finalists, whittled down from hundreds of entries, by taking into consideration the achievements retailers have made in the independent sector and testimonials from suppliers and customers.

The 52 successful businesses span seven categories: Butcher, Delicatessen, Farm Shop Large, Farm Shop Small, Independent local shop/Village store, Online Business and Other Specialist Retailer. They cover seven UK regions: Anglia, Midlands, North of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South of England and Wales.

In addition, judges went on to select the Newcomer of the Year finalists. The five successful new businesses finalists represent the Midlands, Scotland and South of England.

Judge Matt Whelan, MD Fieldfare who champion the Retailer Awards, tells us: “It is wonderful to meet the inspiring and enthusiastic people behind the businesses. I love finding out more about them, their businesses and their aspirations for the future. The Awards finalist announcement has a real buzz to it. It’s great to be there and celebrate the achievements within our industry, network and learn from our colleagues.”

Regional winners will be selected from the category finalists and, with the ‘Retailer of the Year’ accolade, ‘Newcomer of the Year as well as ‘Best in Category’ and ‘Best in Region’ Awards up for grabs, the winners’ announcement on Monday 7^th April, 15:15 at Farm Shop & Deli Show, is set to be a fantastic celebration of speciality retailers.
