The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Food & Farming Awards 2025 Launch

Jaega Wise launches this year's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Food & Farming Awards from River Cottage HQ with head judge Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Food & Farming Awards are back for 2025!

Jaega Wise visits River Cottage HQ to meet returning head judge Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. They talk about what Hugh is looking for in this year's awards, what makes the West Country a special place for food and farming and some of the history of River Cottage. She also visits previous winners Westcombe Dairy who not only have been thriving since winning in their award, they have been something of an incubation hub sharing a site with other artisanal food businesses like Brickell's Ice Cream, Woodshedding brewery and Landrace Bakery. She also talks to Farming Today's Charlotte Smith and Mali Harries who plays Natasha Archer on the Archers about the Farming for the Future Award.

To nominate in this year's awards go to bbc.co.uk/foodawards where you can also find the terms and privacy notice. You have between 6am on 6th June and midday 30th June 2025 to nominate.
