A Glasgow-based social enterprise providing local, organic grocery shops and veg box deliveries has just been named as the best in the UK. Locavore, which has three sites across the city, has just picked up the Best Shop or Market award at the BBC Food and Farming awards ceremony recently held in Wales.
The awards, which were first launched in 2000 and seek to honour those who have done the most to promote the cause of good food, took place on Wednesday (November 9) at the National Museum in Cardiff.
A judging panel, which included the likes of the presenter of The Food Programme Sheila Dillon, One Show presenter Matt Allwright and restaurateur Asma Khan, celebrated Locavore's commitment to only using produce from their land, local growers, and ethical producers.
