Well today was the grand opening of our new local farm shop.
A posh deli affair with meat and fish counters, tapas, bakery, wines, handmade chocolate, pasta, fresh fruit and vegetables, beautiful flowers, a cafe (with stone baked pizza!), cookery courses and play areas for the kiddies.
This isn’t somewhere to go for your weekly shop, but makes for a superb afternoon out if you don’t want to battle the town traffic. Got a special meal to prepare? Or maybe looking for somewhere new and interesting to meet friends for tea and cake? This new farm shop is perfect and the presentation of goods is impeccable.

Betsy adored both play areas! The indoor area had a mini shop counter with toy produce, chalk boards and other bits. The outside features a wooden adventure playground flanked by 2 Wendy house structures. It has a slide and rope bridge to keep children amused, whilst you sip your coffee outside.
I think the farm shop will continue to grow. You can see their goats, Pamela the pig and some Donkeys, as well as a newly planted herb and vegetable garden. Let’s hope for some chickens and more!
I’m looking forward to more visits to The Farm Stratford, purely to taste more of the wonderful gluten free cakes! I had a piece of the passion fruit one and it was amazing! The pizza looked scrumptious too.
