This year, the awards included categories for everything from cheese and dairy to cafés, restaurants and street food, with almost 500 entries across all categories.

Anna Jones, BOOM ambassador, said: “I believe that food and drink should be joyful, and good organic produce is at the centre of this joy. There has been a real shift towards people wanting to know the origins of what they’re eating and drinking – from where it was grown to who planted the seeds – organic produce has these values at its core. I am excited to celebrate individuals and businesses that are giving us brilliant choices.”
