If you think that the bread from your local bakery, or fresh veggies from your Saturday-morning market is worthy of some
praise, now’s your chance to speak up! Vote for your favourite producer, product or supplier in this year’s Eat In Produce Awards.
Win one of three prizes: 2 product hampers with goodies from our previous produce award winners
and a case (6 bottles) of Laborie sparkling wine.
Why the awards?
The Eat In Awards want to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding, independent South African producers for putting South Africa on
the international food
map with their integrity, care for the environment, passion and innovation.
Of course, an outlet is a vital connection between the producers and public, which is why the awards also recognise the stores, shops
and market for their vital role in the process.
