Coldharbour Farm Shop and Field Kitchen has been recognised in this year’s Countryside Alliance Awards as a champion of local food and drink in the South West.
The Ottery St Mary business was awarded Highly Commended in the local food and drink category - an impressive achievement, as thousands of nominations were received.
Co-owner Andrea Broadhurst said: “We were proud just to be named amongst the finalists so it’s a real honour to be recognised as highly commended. A huge congratulations to the winners and runners up, these are all brilliant rural businesses who work really hard.
“These particular awards were decided by public vote; we’d like to thank all our customers for voting for us, we really do appreciate you making the effort to support us.”
The Countryside Alliance Awards – now in their 17th year – recognise rural businesses across five categories, including ‘best local food’, ‘best butcher’, ‘best pub’, ‘best rural enterprise’, and ‘best village shop/post office’. These businesses go the extra mile within their communities, supporting the local economy and championing local goods and services.
Sarah Lee, Countryside Alliance Director of Policy, said: "We are proud to be honouring these exceptional rural businesses, and the people behind them who are passionate about providing quality goods, services, and employment to rural communities and beyond.
“Running a business in a rural community isn’t easy, and it’s so important to celebrate the valued role these rural enterprises have in their communities."
