Whether it's a block of cheese, a beef wellington, or a batch of eggs, organic produce is a popular item on some people's shopping lists.

That's why The Bolton News is opening nominations for the Best Farm, Deli or Butchers Shop Award 2025.

There's something different about consuming produce from one of these places given it is often sourced locally, and supporters the local economy.
