A CAMBRIDGESHIRE ‘farm to fork’ business has taken the crown for the best farm shop in the region in the 2026 Velvet Food & Drink Awards.
Willow Grange’s farm shop in Chittering received the accolade, beating competition across Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.
Willow Grange has been family-run for more than 100 years, with its farm shop opening in October 2024.
The business operates as a working farm, a wedding venue, and can host events and accommodation.
The business was put forward for the award last year and judge Michelle Alston said Willow Grange had made ‘‘significant improvements’’ since its previous nomination.
She said it was clear to her that ‘‘a lot of care and investment has gone into the farm shop’’.
She continued: ‘‘This was very evident as soon as I stepped inside.
‘‘The shop floor was spotlessly clean and merchandised to a high standard.
