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 two prizes: 2 product hampers with goodies from our previous
produce award winners as well as 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.
