As we move forward into a ‘new normal’, there’s a lot more noise being made about supporting local businesses, knowing where our food comes from, and making the most out of the food we have. The popularity of farm shops has boomed over the past few years and it’s easy to see why.

You’ll find an impressive selection of your weekly staples like high quality meat, cheeses and delicious freshly made bread, as well as a wide range of cupboard items that will open your eyes to the sheer diversity of food available. People are using their local farm shops more than ever, and here’s why you should be too.

Walking into a farm shop is an exciting experience, the colours, the smells and the entire atmosphere evoke feelings of excitement and anticipation – there’s so many treasure to find like unique gifts, a selection of goods to make the food hamper of dreams, and more flavours of jams than you can shake a stick at!

Overall, shoppers in the UK are become more ‘food savvy’. We want to know what’s in our food and where it comes from. If you’re making a conscious effort to shop ethically or want food without any added nasties, farm shops are perfect. They offer quality produce sourced from ethical suppliers, and you’ll know exactly where your food came from and how fresh it is, as there’s often signs telling you exactly where the food was sourced from, and when it arrived.

One of the best things about shopping at your local farm shop is the satisfaction of knowing your supporting your local community and getting behind a small business in your area. When you choose to buy from a farm shop, your most likely helping the owners save for a family holiday or expand their business, not lining the pockets of CEO’s. We’re not here to de-value supermarkets, they are and will continue to be a big part of our shopping experience in the UK, but choosing a local farm shop will boost your community, introduce you to new foods, and you’ll feel good about it too!

Farm shops are also a great choice if you’re concerned about your carbon footprint. The nature of how they work means they impact the environment much less than chain supermarkets. The produce is local so travels less miles, most of the packaging is recyclable and they often offer paper or reusable shopping bags. While it’s true the produce is going to cost a little more, the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’ will be so fitting once you’ve tried shopping at a farm shop.

Overall, it’s simply a much more enjoyable shopping experience and a far cry from the monotonous isles of the supermarket. So the next time you’re planning your weekly food shop, change your habits and take a trip to your local farm shop - you won’t be disappointed.
