Nottinghamshire farm shop that’s ‘not too pricey’ named among the UK’s best at prestigious awards
The farm shop is in the running to be named Large Farm Shop of the Year
A popular Nottinghamshire farm shop has been recognised as one of the UK’s best after it was shortlisted for a prestigious award.
Welbeck Farm Shop, near Worksop, has been shortlisted for Large Farm Shop of the Year at the Farm Retail Association awards.
The farm shop is up against three other businesses for the award, with the winner announced at a ceremony on March 11, 2026.
The 2026 Farm Retail Association Awards consist of eight categories, including Farm Shop Butchery of the Year and Rising Star Award.
Oliver Stubbins, Welbeck Farm Shop Director, said: “I’m delighted that the relentless hard work and passion that our teams show every day has been acknowledged and considered among the very best in the UK.
“To be shortlisted for both the Large Farm Shop and Café of the Year categories is a testament to our colleagues, customers and suppliers.”
Since opening in 2006, Welbeck Farm Shop has earned a reputation for being one of the best farm shops in the East Midlands.
It focuses on low food miles, drawing on a rich artisan food tradition. Meat is sourced from the local area, including from the Welbeck Estate, where rare breed livestock graze historic pastures.
The Farm Retail Awards celebrate the cream of the crop in the industry, showcasing an incredible array of farm retailers from the length and breadth of the UK.
They are the only awards judged by fellow farm retailers and celebrate the best farm shops, farm cafés and restaurants, farmers’ markets and trade suppliers in the country.
