Chegworth Valley has been voted 'Best Greengrocer', as well as winning ‘Best Product’ in the second annual Slow Food London Awards.

The firm's two London shops, one at Borough Market, (awarded ‘Best Market’ at the same awards), and the other on Kensington Church Street, are supplied with fresh produce from the family-owned farm in Kent, with daily deliveries into each.

Chegworth Valley also produce a range of farm-pressed juices made using fruit from the farm and pressed and bottled on site, and it was these that scooped the ‘Best Product’ award.

The awards are based entirely on public votes and aim to recognise companies that put quality sourcing at the heart of the business.

David Deme, owner of Chegworth Valley, said: “We are over the moon to have won not one but two Slow Food awards. We are very unique in that we are farmers growing a wide range of produce and making juices, as well as having our own two London shops, where this is sold.”
