​Participating in a Higher-Level Stewardship agricultural-environmental management scheme, we are proud to say that we are working hard to conserve the local wildlife, protect our natural resources, protect the historical landscape and promote public access and understanding of the countryside.

Our mission to support local producers remains as strong as ever, and we’ve expanded our offerings to include even more Dorset produced products. You can also grab a cup of freshly brewed coffee from our new bean to cup machine as you peruse our selection.

Featured Farm Shop – Wiltshire
The Old Forge Farm Shop 

Picture

The beautiful Wiltshire village of Berwick St James has welcomed the opening of the Old Forge Farm Shop & Café. Well worth a stop off if you are travelling down the A303 and passing through Winterbourne Stoke (look out for signs at the roadside). The slight detour will be rewarded with a warm welcome from the new team that has taken on this quirky little building.

​Customer reviews are five star, and the locals are thrilled to have a farm shop back on their doorstep offering fresh fruit and vegetables, pies and pastries, cheese and olives, store cupboard essentials and a section of refills ranging from beautiful, locally harvested rapeseed oil to dried fruit and nuts.

Picture

​Half of the old forge is now a great little café for cakes, coffees and amazing full English breakfasts which come in varying degrees of “fullness” with farmers’ fuel (one of everything!), farmers’ feast (two of everything!), farmers’ allotment (vegetarian option), farmers’ harvest (vegan), growing farmer (kids). Literally something for everyone!

​This is a great place to stop if you are walking in the area and the laid back atmosphere is suitable for muddy boots and dogs (dog treats available) – even horse riders are welcomed and have been known to pick up a bacon roll to eat on the go!

Picture

​It is worth keeping an eye on social media posts for all the daily specials which will be hard to resist from coconut & chickpea curry to meatball pasta. There are sharing platters and cream teas, luxury afternoon teas (pre-booking essential) and lots of gluten free options.

​And if the sun is shining, grab a table outside. Sit back and let the Old Forge vibe soak in!

Mallards Farm Shop

Picture

Mallards Farm Shop oozes freshness. Vegetables travel the shortest of distance from the market garden which sits on the site of old Monastic Gardens that have been producing vegetables since Saxon times. 

Picture

The current farmer believes whole-heartedly in crop rotation, leaving the ground to be grassed and grazed by sheep for four years before being ploughed and planted with the beautiful crops that are harvested and sold in the shop.

Picture

​The list of fruit and vegetables on offer in this little gem is staggering and, as each new crop comes into season, they are added to the website and shouted about on social media.  Fresh, new asparagus is the current star with pink early rhubarb also making an appearance.

​Anything not grown at the market garden is bought in from local suppliers with eggs and mushrooms, apples and strawberries as well as jams, honey, chutneys and chicken. Fresh lamb and pork are reared on the farm and available fresh and frozen.

​There are also logs and manure and milk – and pumpkins when the season allows!

Trinity Farm Shop & Home Delivery

Picture

The lovely people at Trinity Farm Shop in Long Eaton are proud to use the word “organic” when they describe their business. Everything they do prioritises sustainability, from the beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables to the refill station packed with those essential household items.  Their goal is to reduce waste and promote an eco-friendlier lifestyle.

They are keen to encourage you to cook fresh and fabulous food at home using the goodies they have in the shop. To help you do this, they often suggest a few ideas for how to cook some of the more unusual offerings. Keep an eye on their new website and facebook pages for hot tips. Leafy chard was making a recent appearance in the deliverable vegetable boxes last week and came with a few suggestions…..

“You can make a delicious salad by cutting the leaves into ribbons and adding some toasted nuts, feta cheese and a citrus vinaigrette.
You can even sauté the leaves in a bit of olive oil, garlic and lemon juice for a tasty side dish

Enjoy!”

There’s a plentiful supply of meat too and all on offer is organic and free-range with the animals being treated humanely with access to outdoor space. They believe that ethical treatment of animals is as important as the quality of the meat itself.

​Also on offer is a range of vegan milk, cheese and meat alternatives, a selection of organic baking ingredients, breakfast, crisps, drinks, cooking, and dried nut products, so you’re sure to find everything you need for your pantry.

​And recently, the addition of a coffee machine .. and a comfy little “coffee corner”…means you can make your daily shop a destination, take the weight off your feet for a minute or five, and settle in to enjoy a drink and a pastry!  Fresh bread and treats are delivered daily from the Welbeck Bakehouse. What’s not to like?

Picture

​And if you can’t get to them…then they will come to you! The shop offers delivery within a 20-mile radius so you can still enjoy all of their wonderful organic goodness from the comfort of your own home.

The Farm Shop at Cranswick

The lovely people at the Farm Shop at Cranswick believe whole-heartedly that it is the quality, taste and provenance of their products that keep the customers happy and returning to use their shop again and again. And they cater for all tastes and needs, whether you are cooking family favourites, hosting a dinner party or popping in for a quick sandwich.

Picture

Wherever possible, local producers and suppliers are used to fill the deli counter with mouth-watering goodies. Pies and pastries, cheese and cooked meats shout “picnic!” and the friendly staff are famous for fabulous freshly-made sandwiches.

Picture

In the farming business since 1989, they know a thing or two about fresh, local produce and the fruit and vegetable shelves are full of beautiful ingredients. Adrian, who gets up extremely early (a trait leftover from being a dairy farmer), heads off three times a week to pick the best quality, local produce. The majority of the fruit and veg is sold loose to avoid unnecessary plastic.​

The original shop opened in 1989 and has now grown beyond all recognition with a café added in 2016.  

Picture

​It serves freshly made meals and cakes using the locally-sourced ingredients that are also available in the shop. Their range of desserts are hard to look at without coveting a mouthful!

The Farm Shop at Cranswick is a local success story and is proud to employ over 40 local individuals who are passionate about what they do. They employ bakers, cooks, sales assistants, pot washers, baristas and waiting staff, who all bring skills and personality to the business and help make visiting Cranswick a very happy (and delicious) experience.

Knab Farm Shop

Picture

This wonderful little farm shop describes itself as a “local community store” and it really feels like the desire to champion the best that Sheffield has to offer is at the heart of everything Knab Farm Shop offers. They are truly “vocal about local“!

​Bread comes from the local bakers, incredible ready meals from local Italian and Indian chefs, Sheffield craft ales and brew and flowers from a local florist, Rosy – the list is long and glorious and the food is mouth-wateringly tempting.

​Free-range eggs are displayed in all their fabulous different shades and there are cabinets of pies, meat, cheese and dairy and shelves filled with store cupboard essentials. 

​There is also a refill section helping customers to reduce waste and use less plastic, as well as the wooden crates filled with locally sourced fruit and vegetables encouraging you to ditch the polythene wrapping and pop the goodies straight into your basket.

​The shop oozes wholesome goodness and I rather wish I lived nearer to Sheffield, particularly when I browse their ready meal offerings.  

​During lockdown, local chef Marco from Milano had to close his restaurant and rethink his operation. He teamed up with Knab Farm Shop to bring freshly cooked Italian dishes to the “ready meal” market and the partnership is a great success.  The menu is inspired. 

Alongside Marco’s meals are arancini from Heart of Sicily (Italian rice balls that are stuffed, coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried, a staple of Sicilian cuisine and one of my favourite things to put on my plate!)

 and curries, bhajis and samosas from The Bhaji Shop – all jostling for my attention. That’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday sorted!

Gold Hill Organic Farm Shop

​If vegetables could choose where they’d like to be grown, harvested and sold, I reckon many would pick Gold Hill Organic! 

​A small, family-run shop nestled at the heart of a bustling farm courtyard, Gold Hill Organic Farm Shop is surrounded by eight acres of glorious Dorset countryside where the fresh vegetables are grown.  Picked straight from the soil each morning, the vegetables are bursting with flavour and nutrients that only super-fresh food can provide.

“​When you hear the words “farm-fresh” used, imagine Gold Hill Organic. It doesn’t get much fresher…

Picture

​Although it’s hard not to be tempted by all the sparkling vegetables, you might want to leave room in your basket for a few other bits for your cupboard. The farm shop also sells a wide range of local and organic products including meat, dairy, fresh bread, grocery items and ice cream.

​The cheese doesn’t get much more local than this. The on-site cheese maker, James is based on the farm where he has a washing and rind maturing room. He keeps the fridges stocked with his fantastic range of cheeses. 

​There is also milk from just down the road at The Crook and Churn Dairy, delicious jams, marmalades, chutneys and exclusive Gold Hill Hot Sauce from local producer “A Jar of..” and award winning organic chicken and pork sausages from Angel Cottage Organics.

Colwith Farm Shop

Picture

​Five generations of farmers have fed the nation from Colwith Farm, nestled in the stunning scenery between near Lostwithiel on mid Cornwall’s rolling hills. 

Picture

​The loamy soil is perfect for growing the potatoes which have become Colwith Farm’s speciality, supplying fish and chip shops, bakeries and producers, crisping suppliers, potato merchants and local farm shops, as well as the now famous Colwith Farm Distillery for its prize-winning vodka and gin production.

The small but well-stocked farm shop at the entrance to the yard began life as an honesty box but, during the 2020 pandemic, demand for locally supplied food exploded and Colwith Farm responded with a ‘proper’ shop, manned seven days a week, and offering a constantly evolving choice of provisions.

Of course, potatoes are always available in bags of different sizes and washed and ready to use but there is also bread, cakes, healthy snacks, drinks, fruit and veg, eggs and meat from local producers, milk and store cupboard essentials as well as a wonderful selection of alcohol and nibbles.

The lovely team at Colwith Farm live by the motto “support local” showcasing the best that the region offers. Do pop in if you’re driving down the A390 and see which goodies take your fancy. I think I know what’s top of my list!​

Featured Farm Shop – Wiltshire
Plank’s Farm Shop

​Four miles southeast of Devizes is the Old Potato Yard, a place with an agricultural past but a creative future. Various retail businesses now fill the old farm buildings, the largest of them being Plank’s Farm Shop which first threw open its doors in 2007 and has earned a reputation for being a friendly and inviting place. 
​It is packed with the usual farm shop essentials of fresh fruit and vegetables and local bread, milk, cheese and eggs but also displays a fabulous range of gourmet treats.  The in-house kitchen with its team of chefs produces ready meals with a difference – quiches, pies, soups, salads, cakes and deserts which you can take home with you to enjoy fine dining every day.
​There is also a mouth-watering butchery run by the lovely Hannah who makes her own sausages, burgers, faggots, marinated kebabs and BBQ packs. She is onsite three days a week to answer any meaty questions!
​Household goods fill another bank of shelves, and a refill section caters to those wanting to reduce their use of unnecessary packaging. Also on offer is an external catering service where delicious food can be provided for any time of gathering from a small drinks party to a seated dinner for 150 people or a work lunch with boxed sandwiches. Plank’s really do seem to do it all!
​A recent addition of an ice cream counter means you can treat yourself to a Marshfield ice cream when you have completed your shop and enjoy a leisurely wander around the rest of the old yard and have a poke in the neighbouring local businesses.

Opening Hours:
Monday to Saturday  8.30am – 5pm

Featured Farm Shop – Cornwall
Trevithick & Trays Farm Shop & Café

​Just over a year ago, a new addition took root in the lovely Pentewan Valley next door to the River Valley Holiday Park, near Saint Austell. This well-stocked farm shop bursts with good quality food and drink from locally reared meats and freshly baked bread to mouth-watering cheeses, local fruit and vegetables and, of course, Cornish pasties – including frozen ones for you to take home and store in your own kitchen for when the pasty need arises!
​Alison and Paddy have tried hard to cover every angle. The shop has a grand array of gluten-free and vegan goodies to help cater to all dietary requirements and shelves full of locally produced artisan ales, cider and wine to small-batch gins, vodka, rum, brandy and whiskey for the thirsty amongst us.
​Once a week, there is a visit from a local fishmonger who sets up outside the shop and brings with him the most incredible variety of freshly caught fish. Feast your eyes on the most recent selection and tell me you can’t smell the sea…

Mussels, scallops, Cornish king crab, haddock, hake, pollock, John dory, lemon sole and squid.

​​Next to the shop is a pretty café in which to enjoy a coffee and a cake (or a Cornish cream tea… jam first obviously!) with an outside seating area which welcomes dogs – and cyclists!
Definitely worth a detour whatever your route…

Featured Farm Shop – Dorset
Rawston Farm Butchery & Shop

With over 5 generations of farming experience, the Cossins family know a thing or two about the countryside. They hand rear Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Rawstar cows on their family farm in Tarrant Rawston, Dorset which prides itself on lush, mineral-rich grass leading to incredibly tender and flavoursome beef.
The farm is at the heart of all that they do. The meat is sold at the farm shop ensuring the absolute minimum of food miles as the family whole-heartedly believe that shopping local is key to agricultural sustainability. 
“Keep your food miles low and your taste experience high” is their mantra. All the meat in the farm shop is fully traceable with the home-produced beef from the farm and chicken, pork and lamb travelling a few miles from local suppliers and seasonal specialities welcomed into the shop at the appropriate time from venison, game, veal and free-range turkeys for that special occasion!
​James and Barbara also own the local pub, The Langton Arms, so the chef there uses the fabulous meats to create pies and dishes which are sold in the farm shop, encouraging the locals to treat themselves to a “ready meal” like no other… they might even find beef wellington available if they are really lucky.
​Always available are take away coffee and cake, home-made sausage rolls, scotch eggs, bacon turnovers and pork pies as well as locally grown seasonal fruit and vegetables, local store cupboard ingredients, herbs and spices, fresh fish and eggs, honey and even flowers and plants.
​Rawston’s is a fabulous one stop shop to create home-cooked meals from breakfast to dinner, safe in the knowledge that everything in your basket has been sourced from within 30 miles of the farm shop.
It was this premise that led Barbara to create a county-wide Love Local Trust Local food label scheme to help consumers understand the provenance of their food and encourage them to support local farmers and growers.
The “welly boot” logo was created in 2018 and is awarded to independent businesses including farmers, fishermen, growers and producers, whose main ingredients are sourced from within 30 miles of their Dorset location.

The Love Local Trust Local Food and Drink Awards was launched for the first time in 2020 and continues to thrive.

Jolly Nice Farm Shop

It’s hard to say the name of this farm shop without smiling.
​Jolly nice by name and jolly nice by nature. 
​This Gloucestershire farm shop, the brainchild of third generation farmers, Simon and Rebecca, was founded for a more sustainable, happier future. They prioritise the wellbeing of their livestock and their land, championing old fashioned, sustainable rare breed livestock and farming methods.
​And with this ethos at the forefront of everything they do, the shop has thrived. They regularly feature beautiful local produce and succulent meat and publicise its provenance.
​They believe, that with each season, it is important to adapt eating habits to live in tune with nature’s calendar and, if you shop at this fabulous farm shop, this is not hard to do. The fresh and seasonal produce is grown by local farmers and micro producers just a few miles down the road:
​Celeriac and Potatoes are produced by Farmer Fred from Close Farm – 8 miles away.
Kale, Turnips and Winter Salad are produced by Purton House Organics – 18 miles away.
Savoy Cabbage, Leeks and Purple Sprouting Broccoli are produced by Paget’s Produce – 28 miles away.
​But there are plenty of “extras” to fill your basket with. Why not try their award-winning ice cream whilst visiting? Their salted caramel and gooseberry & elderflower have both won the highest accolade in the food world – each gaining 3 Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards.
​Or perhaps quench your thirst with a shot of Sicilian blood orange juice.
​Another reason to smile is that you can enjoy a lot of what Jolly Nice Farm Shop has to offer without even leaving your car! During the pandemic, they came up with the genius idea of introducing a “drive through”.
​Built within 8 weeks of the first Covid lockdown, it helped keep customers safe and staff employed. On the menu is the beef brisket burger, pulled mushroom burger, triple cheese & caramelised onion sourdough toastie and grass-fed beef & fennel meatball sourdough toastie. Yum…
And this wonderful addition won Jolly Nice farm shop the title of 
Best Rural Innovation’ in the Southwest regional finals of the @ruralbusinessawards
This has encouraged the owners to expand the drive-through and work is underway to create a new area with a state-of-the-art production kitchen to ensure they produce food of the highest quality in a few minutes plus the addition of seating in a cosy yurt and unique “Lambing Shed”. This should all be ready soon – mid Spring.
​What a jolly nice idea!

Featured Farm Shop – Northumberland
The Nook Farm Shop & Café

​The Nook is the ideal name for this beautiful farm shop nestled below the Epiacum Roman Fort site, 2 miles north of Alston in Cumbria (just over the Northumberland border). It opened in 2019 and is well supported by the local community as well as the visitors passing through to see the Roman remains.
The ethos of the shop and café is to serve and promote the local area and with this is mind, The Nook sells fresh and frozen local produce both to take home and to eat on site. There is a well-stocked meat fridge full of locally farmed beef, lamb and pick and mix meat packs, a mouth-watering display of home-made cakes, ploughman’s scones and scotch eggs (they are not bound by border lines at The Nook!) and local honey (which sells out quickly so be warned!)
The café looks like the ideal spot in which to hunker down after a climb to the ruins of the fort which has been described as “the best-preserved Roman fort in the Empire”. Epiacum is the Roman name for Whitley Castle and the site has been extensively researched by English Heritage and been classified as the “most significant monument in the region“.
Whether it’s the fort or the scotch eggs that bring you to this spot, you will be guaranteed a warm welcome at The Nook.

Bailey’s Country Store & Farm Shop

Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, just off the Penryn River, you will find Bailey’s Country Store and Farm Shop. In 2006, the country store began by supplying animal feed and pet supplies to the people of Penryn but it has now grown and adapted and introduced a farm shop providing locals and visitors with beautiful, tasty, local food.
​An independent family run business, the shop is a welcoming, friendly place to do your shopping and the staff pride themselves on having time to chat and offer their own opinion on the goods that are for sale.
These include everything from scrumptious freshly baked breads, delicious locally grown seasonal fruit and veg, free range local meats and eggs, through to jams, chutneys and rapeseed oils, Cornish cheeses and local alcohol.
Online sales are also encouraged and the seasonal veg, salad or fruit boxes have proved very popular, helping to make things a little more straight forward when ordering online. The farm shop is lucky to have fantastic local growers who provide delicious seasonal fresh vegetables and fruit daily.
The provenance of the meat counter is also transparent with free-range chicken coming from Keith Wickett (chicken how it used to taste!), free-range pork, sausages and bacon from Bill and Sally of Primrose Herd and a weekly selection of seasonal game – venison, rabbit, pheasant and partridge from Duchy Game.
Some items on sale might be from a little further afield but the single malt whisky handcrafted on the edge of Dartmoor, just over the border in Devon, was too good not to stock.
​With a huge selection of goods to make your mouth water, make sure you plan a trip to Bailey’s if you are in the Falmouth area…and if your visit happens to coincide with lunch time, then maybe Simon’s home reared free range pulled pork, with apple sauce and stuffing or coleslaw on a delicious ciabatta roll will sort you out. It looks absolutely delicious!

Forster’s Farm Shop

Words and Photographs supplied by Forster’s Farm Shop
​We are a fifth-generation, family-run, organic farm. Although within our Farm Shop we specialise in our own organic beef and lamb, we have many other delicious foods to offer.
​We pride ourselves on the organic beef and lamb produced here. Our animals graze our organic pastures and you will often see them in the fields as you drive in.
​In 2000, we made a decision to ‘go organic’. Initially it was a business decision, but we have come to realise how beneficial this way of farming is to both the land and our animals and, therefore, the quality of our produce. We are determined to showcase not only our organic beef and lamb but other products we make ourselves including sausages, burgers and dry cured bacon.
​Our policy is ORGANIC whenever possible, then free range and, just as important, local. As a result, we sell from other producers, for example, quality free-range chicken and pork, delicious artisan jams, relishes, chutneys, cheeses, biscuits, puddings…. the list goes on.
​Job satisfaction is a marvellous thing and to us that is why customer experience is very important. For someone to come to the farm and enjoy our produce means the world to us and makes the team here very proud.
​St. Helens is often thought of as an industrial town, but it has much more to offer. You will be surprised and delighted by this gem of a place!
​Our aim is to make your visit to Shoots Delph Farm memorable – by taking away something to enjoy at home – delicious foods with great provenance.
​For 2022, we plan to extend our range of products and to concentrate on suppliers who are artisan producers and who have an eco-mindset ie. their products are environmentally sustainable with recyclable packaging.
​First and foremost, we are farmers but we are proud of the food we produce and our shop is the perfect place to show what we do.
​We look forward to welcoming you to Forster’s Farm Shop.
From our family to your family- food you can trust.”
