Local farm shops
If you’re looking for incredible, fresh, seasonal produce, then head to your nearest farm shop! Full of food and drink from across the county, including some treats you won’t find anywhere else, your local farm shop is the place to shop if you want to support local businesses.
Farm shops are the consumer-facing parts of the farming industry where farmers can sell directly to customers, and are the only real way you can guarantee the freshest products, most of which will have come from either a nearby farm, or the shop itself will be on the farmland, so it is also a great option for those that are eco-conscious.
