Washingpool Farm Shop wins Top Award 

NOVEMBER 2024

​

We are delighted to have won two awards at a prestigious awards ceremony in November. Washingpool Farm Shop was named Taste of the West’s Best South West Farm Shop, an area covering Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. We have been nominated as finalists in this category before and have been awarded Taste of the West Gold for our commitment to local and regional food retailing consistently for the past nineteen years. The excitement of the evening didn’t end there, our family-run business was also named Number 1 Place to Go, beating the winners from all the hospitality and retail categories such as fine dining, B&Bs, pubs, delis, street food and butchers to become the overall winner.
