​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…

​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.

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.

​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…

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!

Nestled behind the natural beauty of Slapton Ley, serving locals and visitors alike, an unmatched range of fantastic produce, featuring over 70 Devon producers and suppliers, you will find Stokeley…

And as they like to say, “so much more than a Farm Shop!” 'though you will definitely enjoy all the fantastic fresh and local produce on offer including: artisan cheeses, freshly baked bread, fruit, veg, a wonderful selection of groceries, wines, and other provisions and, not to forget, the award-winning butchery counter. 

​Quite simply, a fabulous array of foodie choice and all available to be delivered to your home, if you live in the local area.

​And, if that’s not enough to tempt you to visit, there is a seasonal garden centre, a collection of retail outlets featuring local artists, makers fashion brands and a lifestyle interiors store!

The Café is locally renowned for its wood fired pizza oven and the scrumptious Sunday lunches that are, more than regularly, sold out. And if you are in the mood for something a little stronger than tea and coffee… the South Hams Drinks Tap House is on site, showcasing their award-winning ales, ciders and soft drinks too.

​With regular live events throughout the year and a summer festival that delights in welcoming and entertaining everyone, you know that time spent at Stokeley is time well spent - for all the family. 

​You’ll find Stokeley just off the beaten track between Kingsbridge and Torcross - off the A379 near Slapton Ley. And if you would like to get to know more about this beautiful part of the South Hams, you can even hire e-bikes here during the summer season.

​Be sure to pay us a visit this year…

​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.

​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.

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!

Located on the Isle of Wight, between Shanklin and Newport, this farm shop has recently changed hands after the Brownriggs retired.
The new owners are two Island farmers, Andrew Hodgson and Phillip Morris, who are keen to build on the success of their predecessors as well as introducing new lines. 

​The shop stocks a wonderful array of local produce including Briddlesford Farm Dairy Guernsey milk - in GLASS bottles- another environmental win for the Isle of Wight. Whole and semi skimmed milk are available and the shop encourages you to bring back your empties to be reused.

Team the Guernsey milk with another new product, Jasper's Coffee, for your morning break and keep it all local! The owners love the ethos of this small ethical Island company and their compostable packaging is a big bonus too. 

Most products are also available in an online shop offering both click and collect & local delivery.

​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."

​This curiously-named farm shop comes with a wonderful story of evolution, as well as a fabulous selection of delicious local produce. 

​The Dobson family have been farming in Carlton since 1815 and in the early years the farm had livestock as well as crops. The farm served the local community with vegetables for over five generations and, as the farm grew in size, it supplied the local markets, the national markets and then the supermarkets. ​

​The animals were housed on the ground floor and the straw and hay stored above. John Edward Dobson forced some of the first ever Yorkshire rhubarb in the hay loft above the cows, using the rising heat from the cows to force the rhubarb and bring it to market early.

Fast-forward a couple of hundred years and the buildings were no longer fit for agricultural use so Simon Dobson and his management team felt it was quite fitting that they should be refurbished and used to sell meats and dairy products and, as they played such a major part in the history of Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb, they decided to call it The Rhubarb Triangle Farm Shop.

They take pride in offering great Yorkshire produce. Their suppliers are carefully selected so that they only stock goods they can recommend. Their deli is filled with fresh, locally produced goodies keeping food miles to a real minimum and helping to fulfil their mission statement…

They stock free-range eggs from their own hens, fresh breads from Boulby’s of Horbury, cheeses from The Yorkshire Dales Cheese Company, flapjacks and tiffin from Lottie Shaw’s of Halifax, frozen seafood from Chapman’s at Grimsby, Stickey’s local honey produced from bees on their own land and, of course, a huge choice of meat.

Their onsite butchery features fantastic cuts as well as their increasingly popular homemade kebabs, sausages and burgers. Beef is from their own farm and also from Hartshead Moor, and is hung and matured for a minimum of 21 days. Their lamb is from the rolling hills of Yorkshire too. Pork and chicken is also local.

​So it certainly isn’t just about the rhubarb….

​Thornes Farm Shop is situated in the heart of Devon just outside the town of Crediton. Well known for their P.Y.O soft fruits of strawberries & raspberries and also their monthly family events.
Being a traditional working farm, Thornes supply the south west with homegrown veg of cauliflowers, different varieties of cabbages, beetroot, kale, potatoes, squashes and pumpkins. Working with the seasons so you can always be guaranteed fresh quality veg in the shop.

​Thornes are big supporters of stocking local produce & products which range from cider, wine, honey, ice-creams, charcoal and much more.
​You'll find every type of sausage imaginable in the farm shop, all locally sourced.

​There's ​an amazing selection of gifts available, all made and produced by local artists and artisans within the mid Devon area.

​​You are always greeted with a warm welcome at Thornes and nothing is ever too much trouble.

​The simple but classy logo for this sparkling new farm shop hints at the ethos behind the business – locally sourced quality meat (butchery was at the heart of their desire to set up the shop) and fresh vegetables, breads, cheeses and preserves all from carefully selected specialist producers.

Located between Cranborne Chase and the New Forest, Fordingbridge Farm Shop is the vision of father and son, Gerry and Laurie. Having always had a passion for good, simple food and sustainable local farming, they decided to give up the rat race and build something new in Hampshire. Working side by side, they created a space to showcase the abundance of wonderful produce available right on their doorstep in the New Forest and surrounding areas.

They specialise in locally sourced meat from small-scale farmers, traditionally butchered in-house and they whole-heartedly believe that it’s important for people to understand where their food comes from and what goes into producing the wonderful things that they sell at the shop. To this end, their social media shows videos of the butchers in action so customers know everything they put in their basket is fresh as fresh can be.

​From native breed beef to New Forest pannage pork, local lamb to free range chicken, they have everything you need for a Sunday roast, a summer BBQ or just a quick meal on a weekday evening.

Apart from an impressive meat counter, the shop stocks a wide range of pies, pastries and ready-to-eat meals all made by hand in the farm shop kitchen. A salad bar offers an ever-changing feast of delicious and healthy meals and the home-made Scotch eggs are reportedly a customer favourite. 

Cheers Fordingbridge!

​Here’s a farm shop that has evolved from the land that stocks it. Originally a Pick Your Own farm founded by the Bell family over 50 years ago, the shop was added so that customers could choose whether they “pick their own” or pop into the shop and buy produce already harvested. 

​
​The 40 acre farm produces a fabulous array of different fruit and vegetables and you can still get your hands dirty and PYO. Their seasonal offerings look mouth-wateringly delicious from corn on the cob and cauliflowers to pears, apples and plums.

​The shop itself, thriving under the Colwill family who acquired the farm in 1987, is also home to Little Black Pig butchery with a meat counter filled to bursting with succulent fillets and chops.

​They are proud to champion local producers and stock wine, beer, cider, spirits, cheese, cream, milk, bread, jams, chutneys, cakes, biscuits and ice cream. Phew! That’s a good list.

​Continuing its evolution, a pop up café has recently sprung up in a large marquee next to the farm shop where you can take the weight off your feet after your picking or shopping adventures and enjoy a warm coffee and a slice of something tempting.

Who doesn’t like a good boy meets girl story?
​ And here, the happy ending is Radmore Farm Shop… 

When Ben (a self-confessed city boy) met Vicky (a Northamptonshire farm girl) they shared a vision – to bring the best of the farm into the city and this vision is now their reality with a bricks and mortar farm shop in the heart of Cambridge. Alongside all the hard work, they have three small children and a shop filled with smiles.

Their mission is to source the best possible food from neighbouring farms and small companies who share their passion for quality and sustainability and to offer convenient, friendly service with an “old-fashioned” feel whether that be to the customers popping into the shop or to those having their produce delivered to their home. 

Also passionate about zero-waste, they have introduced a booming refill service where customers can bring in their own containers and fill up with an impressive list of household essentials:
Breakfast cereals, chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, herbs and spices, rice and grains, household cleaning products and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and soap).

​Located at the gateway to the “garden of England”, it might not be surprising to learn that the farm shop known as Flint & Oak has access to a plethora of locally sourced fruit and vegetables which they select from the market each morning. However, not everyone would know that they personally taste all of their products and, if they don’t taste great, they simply don’t stock them!

​They want their customers to know that they can personally vouch for what’s on their shelves and the knowledge, expertise and passion of all who work there probably contributed greatly to Flint & Oak being awarded “Kent Local Food Retailer of the Year 2020”.

​Respecting the seasons is high on their list of priorities so there is always a changing array of produce in the shop and because it is locally sourced, you won’t see plastic wrapping swaddling the vegetables.

​It all started with bunches of asparagus sold from a small market stall at the edge of the current site but, as local demand grew, Flint & Oak evolved into the shop and deli that it is today, housed in the old milking parlour on the Squerryes Estate.

​There is even a small café with its own garden overlooking the vineyard which - an idyllic place to sit on a sunny day.

​The list of goodies to tempt you in the farm shop is long and luscious.

​Freshly baked bread and pastries, including a note-worthy marmite sausage roll which is handcrafted using free-range pork and puff pastry.

​The cheese counter is stuffed to bursting with over 50 English cheeses made from ewe, goat or cow’s milk, some of them oozing deliciously across the platter, and as members of the “Academy of Cheese” the knowledgeable staff know what they’re talking about.

​Add to that the Kent craft beers (made right next door to the shop, continuing Westerham’s 400-year-old brewing heritage), dessert wines and port, an array of pickles and chutneys, jams and marmalades, oils and preserves and you will find it hard not to be impressed. 

30 minutes from Bath, between Radstock and Shepton Mallet, lies the picturesque village of Holcombe. Beside the River Mells, you’ll find The old Duke of Cumberland pub which has recently metamorphosed into a fabulous little farm shop and kitchen.

​The farm shop itself is small but beautifully formed and the shelves and fridges are jam-packed with fresh, local produce and everyday essentials - fresh bread, local milk (bring your own bottle!) fruit and veg, a delicious selection of cheese and chutneys not to mention the fully stocked butcher’s counter or the counter full of homemade cakes and pastries and, if there’s room in your basket, why not add a bottle of wine or local cider. Here you’ll find all the ingredients for a blow out breakfast or the perfect Sunday roast.

​If filling your basket has taken it out of you then you can always put your feet up next to the river on the adjoining terrace where the Farm Shop Kitchen has seating. Freshly cooked food is served here all day or just coffee and cake if you have other plans for dinner! Free wifi too ….

​Local is celebrated at this “gem of a place” (a recent customer’s words). Beautiful flowers come from 3rd generation farmer @stuarttheflowerman, meat from local farmers, pies from Dickies (made 2 minutes away by 35 year experienced curry chef, Iain Dickie) and milk from under 2 miles away.

​Baskets are by the door… happy shopping!

​Set amongst 800 acres of arable land, permanent grass and woodland lies Wykham Park.

It all began in the 1980s with an honesty box at the farm gate and excess potatoes, courgettes, sweetcorn and onions being sold to the public. In 2000, a bricks and mortar farm shop replaced the honesty box and more recently the farm’s production has evolved with the introduction of asparagus, pedigree Longhorn cattle, a flock of Suffolk ewes and even a market garden, producing seasonal fruit and vegetables.

​The farm shop is open every day and the produce is as fresh as can be with vegetables literally going straight from the field to the plate. The season starts with spinach, peas, broad beans, spring greens and runner beans from the market garden topped up with a selection of wonderful giant tomatoes, basil, cucumbers and peppers from the polytunnel. As the leaves start to fall, the shelves are filled with autumn cabbages, leeks, beetroot and carrots and of course, pumpkins and squashes.

​Other root vegetables which aren’t grown on the farm come from a couple of growers near Oxford.

​This long-standing family of growers see environmental responsibility and sustainability as being at the heart of what they do and this goes hand in hand with producing great tasting food. They describe themselves as “food producers and stewards of the countryside”.

​This ethos extends to the animals they raise. In the winter months, they graze the lambs on stubble turnips adding extra sweetness to the meat. Every stage of the process bringing food to the farm shop has been carefully thought through so when filling your basket you can be assured of the highest quality.

​There is also a selection of prepared dishes thanks to the onsite kitchen, built in 2012 where home grown meat, fruit and vegetables are used to produce a selection of pies, ready meals, soups, sausage rolls and puddings to name but a few. Especially popular are the Longhorn steak and kidney pies, chicken and leek pies, Longhorn cottage pies and Longhorn beef lasagne. 

​These ready meals are perfect for those who are short on time but still want to serve a healthy, delicious meal with the best quality ingredients. 

​Add to this the larder products which come from small producers, many of them local, and you have a smorgasbord of goodies. There is honey from bees kept on the farm as well as locally made cakes, biscuits, traybakes and confectionery. 

​It feels like they have thought of everything and it has prompted a recent customer to write “This has got to be one of the best of its kind”.   Well done Wykham Park!

​Located on a family run 400 acre working farm & visitor attraction, Roves Farm Shop, Butchery & Café opened in 2017 and has gone from strength to strength.

​Stocking over 500 products, many of which are made from home-reared & locally sourced produce, on our shelves you will find a wide range of top-quality meats, free-range eggs, milk, cheeses, fresh fruit & vegetables, homemade pies, lasagnes, quiches, cakes & artisan breads.  We have an extensive range of store cupboard staple sauces, chutneys, pickled onions & jams. We also stock a variety of local craft beers, cider, ales, wines & spirits plus high-quality chocolate & sweet treats.  

​Many products are also available to buy in our online shop for collection in-store.

​We are passionate about producing good quality meat from the best animals, reared to high animal welfare standards.  You can be confident knowing the ‘field to fork’ journey of all Roves-reared meat. Our lamb, pork and beef is all born & reared here on our farm. Slow grown & well hung to produce meats that are tender & full of flavour and butchered here by our experienced butchers.

​Our 40 strong herd of breeding Sussex cows are a traditional breed that thrive on our rich grassland and are renowned for producing quality meat, that is well marbled, fine in texture with a traditional flavour.  

​Our home-produced prime lambs are born and reared on the farm to the highest welfare and environmental standards. We have two flocks, Poll Dorset ewes and Suffolk cross ewes. The early lambing, Poll Dorsets, supply us with new season lamb from late January. The main flock of Suffolk cross ewes provide us with a lamb supply for the rest of the year. Our lamb is always well hung for a minimum of seven days to develop flavour and produce tender, succulent cuts.

​Roves Farm pork comes from our own Gloucester Old Spot pigs, a traditional rare breed pig, producing the finest cuts of pork. Our pigs are reared outdoors under our willows and in the fields where they are free to root and forage.  The slower growth of our pigs and their stress-free environment helps produce more succulent, flavoursome meat & delicious crackling!

​In the skilled hands of our experienced butchers, Gavin & Dave, our Roves-reared meats are transformed into top quality sausages, burgers, prime cuts, mince and excellent joints.

​Our Woolly Sheep Café is open every day serving freshly prepared food, from brilliant breakfasts to light lunches & delicious homemade cake.  We have a variety of fresh, homemade dishes to choose from with many gluten, soya & dairy free options.

​Our fantastic team also handmake all the prepared meals, quiches, pies and cakes that can be found in the Farm Shop.

​The latest additions to our Farm Shop offering include a zero-waste pantry and fresh milk dispenser. 

​Roves Refills will enable our customers to shop more sustainably.  Just re-use your own clean plastic containers, paper or cloth bags & jars, and fill with a range of pasta, beans, pulses, nuts, oil, fruit, grains, seeds, chocolate & even sweets.

​Reducing the use of unnecessary packaging, this way of shopping is sustainable, economical & easy.  By reusing your own containers, plastic use is reduced & you are buying just what you need & so reducing food waste.

​We also sell glass jars just in case you forget to bring your own!

​​And don’t miss the Moo Station, which dispenses fresh milk, locally sourced from Berkeley Farm, which is just six miles away.  Just buy a re-usable glass bottle from the Farm Shop, dispense your milk and you’re all set.  Add a flavoured shot & you have a tasty milkshake to go! Alternatively, you can bring your own container to re-use. Another way we are helping our customers to reduce & re-use plastic and cut waste.

 We look forward to welcoming you very soon.

​There is also a massive selection of bread which is produced in-house using traditional methods. The extensive list of artisan loaves covers all tastes from multiseed, granary and rye through to tiger bread, cheese & onion baps , baguettes and the wonderfully local and evocative Staffordshire knot.

​
​Wander past the meat counter and bakery shelves and you will discover local cider, a deli counter complete with homemade Bradshaw’s pies (“the meat is tender, the pastry’s wonderful” commented one reviewer on social media), fresh produce, gifts, hampers and various seasonal items (including the current season’s hot chocolate shots which I definitely have my eye on)… and if you cannot make it in person then all of these goodies are available to order online.

Free delivery is available to local Burntwood residents within a 3 mile radius of the shop but they will also deliver further afield to local areas Cannock, Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Lichfield for a £5 charge (orders £40 or over).

​If you have small people and want to make a day of it, then the farm also hosts alpaca and other animal experiences. My favourite suggestion is the “pick your own egg and take it home for tea”. My children would have loved that when they were small!

Three-time winner of the Muddy Stiletto Award for the Best Farm Shop / Deli in Somerset & Dorset – the Trading Post Farm Shop, just off the A303 near South Petherton in Somerset, has upped its game for Christmas this year.

​In previous years, Kate and Andy, the owners of the Trading Post since 2017, have sat down with a pile of Christmas catalogues and a glass of whisky, carefully scrutinising every page to make those hard decisions -  which flavour of panettone should be stocked and which one simply won’t fit on the shelves, which boxes of chocolates, chutneys, biscuits and snacks from each range will be purchased and which ones will be left on hold for the following year. The catalogues were full of ticks, crosses and copious notes.

​​The marquee has been an instant hit with everyone – there are even some chocolate ‘Bah Humbug’ lollies for those customers who aren’t quite in the festive spirit yet.

​This year the Trading Post Farm Shop will be your go-to grotto – Kate, Andy and the Trading Post Team cannot wait to greet you!
