BECKINGTON’S White Row Farm has once again been given the highest award in the Taste of the West hospitality and retail awards for 2017 for their Farm Shop.
This is the second year in a row the family business has been commended.
Judges said, “This is a thriving outlet with a spectacular array of South West products. This is an impressive place to visit where one felt one could happily spend an entire day.”
They commented on the knowledge of the fishmonger, the quality of the produce and the evidence of local sourcing that really stood out.
White Row has been running the farm shop business from their farm for over 15 years and have regularly innovated with the introduction of an ice cream shack, a fish and chip shop, a children’s play park and regular festivals giving locals a chance to come and meet suppliers and taste their produce.
Renowned baker, Tom Herbert, of Hobbs House said, “White Row is where the term ‘customer is king’ is redefined for a decade to come; they’ve blazed trail of innovation, customer service and outstanding quality, carving a path where others will surely follow. Steve and Heather are outstanding in their field.”
Owners Heather and Steve Tucker said, “It is hugely motivating to hear that such a highly regarded organisation as Taste of the West, who set high standards for judging, have once again awarded gold to our farm shop. It is a labour of love and every member of our team has had their hand in this success.
“We are lucky to work with such energetic and motivated people here who are real ambassadors in store for what we do on the farm.”
The farm shop goes into the competition to win the best farm shop of the South West with winners announced next month.
