- A Gwendraeth Valley farm shop is celebrating after winning a national retail accolade
Cwmcerrig Farm Shop & Grill won the best UK farm retailer newcomer 2012 award at the FARMA national farmers retail and markets association, held in Edinburgh.
The business employs 21 members of the same family, with Roland, Tom, Reuben and Stuart Watkins running the company with sister Davina Bowen.
Roland Watkins, manager of the farm shop, said, “We are delighted to have won such a prestigious award. It means that our achievements and potential have been recognised by the wider industry, and it has really encouraged us to keep pushing to be the best that we can be.
“It means a lot as we won the only entry from Wales – to bring this back to Carmarthenshire is very good for both us and the area,” he added.
Rita Exner, secretary of FARMA, commented, “It’s an achievement of which they can all be very proud.”
