FARM SHOP & DELI - JUDGING -43

The winners of the 2026 Farm Shop & Deli Product Awards have been announced.

Expert judges have this year given 94 products the coveted Gold award, recognising them as standout products driving excellence, innovation and growth across the specialist food and drink sector.

The winning products have been announced ahead of the Farm Shop & Deli Show 2026, giving brands the opportunity to promote their achievements before and during the event taking place from Monday 13 April to Wednesday 15 April at the NEC Birmingham.

The Farm Shop & Deli Product Awards review every aspect of a product, including taste and sensory appeal, branding and packaging, and suitability for independent specialist retail. Each product is judged on its own merit, and Bronze, Silver and Gold awards are given based only on the quality and potential of each item.

This year’s judges included retailers and wholesalers such as The Cress Company, Cotswold Fayre, Diverse Fine Food, Booths, Fortnum & Mason and Teals Farm Shop, whose expertise ensures every product is evaluated with commercial insight and a passion for the specialty food sector.

“The awards provide producers with invaluable feedback from the retailers and wholesalers who understand the market best,” said Amy Carr, senior events executive for exhibitions at awards organiser William Reed, publisher of The Grocer.

“The range of awards this year highlights not only how many exciting new products are emerging, but also how strong their quality truly is. What resonates with me most is seeing brands celebrate these wins across their platforms – a reminder that there are teams of passionate people behind every amazing product, all putting their heart and soul into their businesses.”

By registering for free entry to the Farm Shop & Deli Show, visitors will also have free entry to three other events taking place at the same time under The UK Food & Drink Shows banner: Food & Drink Expo, National Convenience Show and Forecourt Show.

Around 1,200 businesses will be exhibiting across the four shows, and more than 25,000 visitors are expected to attend the event, which spans the breadth of the retail, wholesale and hospitality sectors.
