Westlands Farm Shop has won Retailer of the Year at the Portsmouth Business Excellence Awards 2025 after a standout year. 

This achievement highlights the farm shop's dedication to quality, sustainability, and supporting local suppliers.

Westlands Farm Shop has been nurturing local supply chains and supporting small businesses in the community since opening its first shop in Meon Valley in 2001.

2024 was a landmark year for Westlands Farm Shop as the business expanded from its roots in Wickham to open a second store on Winchester High Street in November, bucking a national trend for retail to be retreating from the High Street.

With nearly all suppliers coming from within a 40-mile radius, customers are not only getting top-quality, fresh ingredients but also supporting a more sustainable, environmentally friendly food system.

Kayleigh Collett, who runs the farm with her husband Graham, said: "We are absolutely over the moon to have won Retailer of the Year at the Portsmouth Business Excellence Awards 2025.

"This award is such an honour for us, and it truly reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team. Opening our second store in Winchester has been a big milestone, and to be recognised in this way is incredibly rewarding.

"This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of our customers, our local suppliers, and our community."
