 Firstly, forget relying on Sat Nav, use Google Maps when trying to locate this farm shop BUT once you find The Organic Farm Shop, you sure are in for a treat. This farm shop does what it says on the tin – EVERYTHING available here is organic. Not only does the shop itself offer fresh organic produce, including over 100 (that's no typo) vegetables, lamb, beef, pork, chicken, soft cheeses, milk & honey, you can stock up on alcohol, skincare, books, silver jewellery & textiles. You’ll find lots of Fairtrade and ethical gifts. I honestly think I could have spent a whole day here! After browsing the shop, work up an appetite by walking along the well thought out farm trail, taking in the animals and the surrounding countryside. If that sounds a little too strenuous, how about a trailer ride?  The child friendly café has an excellent choice of coffee, herb teas, healthy lunches & snacks, including vegan & vegetarian options throughout the week or you could enjoy a traditional roast available (from the farm) on Sundays. The Sunday Times quoted this café is ‘laid back & rustic’. The Organic Farm Shop is a MUST VISIT farm shop and although nestled in the peaceful countryside, there’s lots going on. You can spend an eco/romantic weekend here in either the cottage, a yurt or the shepherd’s hut or you could camp in their Green Field ‘Leave No Trace’ family campsite? There’s designated walks & trails, numerous workshops are also on offer, Deliciously Vegan or Gluten Free Cooking sound good to me... AND a fantastic, environmentally friendly, eco-venue available for conferences, team building and organic weddings!
