Find A Farm Shop |
We're about to launch a directory of UK farm shops.
If you're involved with a farm shop of any variety or know of a good one you'd like to tell people about, please make sure we've got the details in our directory - it's free!
Just follow the link to register a farm shop.
Thank you.

Farm Shops |
Not everybody wants to sign up for a vegetable box delivery scheme. After all, it requires a different way of thinking about food and cooking, compared to supermarket shopping.
But if you still want to eat local, seasonal food, a farm shop could be a good option for you.
What is a farm shop?
Strictly speaking, a farm shop is run by the grower of the produce, based at their farm, as a means of selling their fruit and vegetables (and often milk, eggs and meat) direct to consumers.
But nowadays, they're springing up everywhere from garden centres to High Streets. And that's ok, as long as they are still selling stuff that's as local as possible.
It's dangerous to assume - there's a garden centre near us that sells "farm shop" produce, but most of the veggies are currently from Argentina and China...
Also, don't assume that everything from a farm shop is organic. If that's important to you, ask. Make sure you understand about organic certification, so you don't get fobbed off!
