Farm Shops

Stopped at Ludlow Food store last week. Quality of meat was good but very expensive. Likewise the Rhug Estate shop on A5 very much over priced. Better, cheaper butchers in Bala.

I think there's a nice cheese shop in Ludlow....

People coming to Cornwall often ask for convenient stops. Lifton Farm Shop is just off the A30 and has a car park big enough to take caravans. Yes truly. Leave the A30 at the Lifton junction, 2 miles east of Launceston, and at the end of the slip road turn towards Lifton village. The farm shop and restaurant are on the left and open every day from 8 am. although not late into the evening. Recommended. 

I'd like to recommend Lacey's Farm Shop in Buckinghamshire.  If you are a fan of top-quality cream and milk, there's none better than from their award-winning Guernsey cows.   

CL's nearby include: Cholsey Grange & Red Barn Farm.  Club sites nearby include Henley Four Oaks.

Called in at Daylesford Organic farm shop today (not far from Stow). Quality is high and so are the prices! We bought a Bledington blue cheese to try. Appropriate as we are staying in Bledington for this week. If it's good then I'll post in Cheese thread.

Stopped off at Doves Orchards farm shop, between Holme and Thornham on the North Norfolk coast. Plenty of apple varieties at this time of year with other seasonal fruit and food. There is also a stall run by Gurneys fishmongers, whose shop is found in Burnham Market.

Just off the A350 just outside of Chippenham there is Allington Farm.  No good if stopping en route with caravan, but if in the area or travelling back past solo, well worth the trip.

If you're in West Yorkshire, or the lower parts of North Yorkshire have a look in at

1. The Local Pantry on the Harrogate road out of Otley.  Nice restaurant, local produce and good quality.

2.  Caring for Life, on the Otley Old Road, Leeds 16 - a social enterprise which houses vulnerable people, and provides employment too.  Good organic shop, and a nice restaurant.

3. Fewston Farm Shop. Upper Cobby Syke Farm, HG3 1SR

4. Keelham Farm Shop, Broughton Road, Skipton, BD23 1UD - good prices too.

All highly recommended.

Peach Croft Farm in Abingdon is a Caravan Club CL with a great farm shop and cafe, lovely people and well worth a visit, easy to get to whatever size your unit, we often use it when travelling north/south, great value for money, great for visiting Oxford, Blenheim Palace. One of our favourite stopovers 

Called in at Fodders Farm Shop just by the Great Yorkshire Showground on the outskirts of Harrogate. A lot of local produce. Nice cafe as well. 

Take the turn at the lights as if going to Sainsburys and continue for about 600 yards past supermarket.
