Big changes on the edge of the horizon… such a perfect quote to support the journey.

"When your life decisions emerge this way in the matrix of your experience, they warrant your trust and commitment."❤️

Many different strands of your past experience begin to weave together until gradually the new direction announces itself. Its voice is sure with the inevitability of the truth. When your life-decisions emerge in this way from the matrix of your experience, they warrant your trust and commitment. When you can choose in this way, you move gracefully within the deeper rhythm of your soul. The geography of your destiny is always clearer to the eye of your soul than to the intentions and needs of your surface mind.

Eat better! Eat fresher! Buy local!

We’re a small local business.

Every day, we try, really hard, to offer the best value and best service possible.

We don’t have millions behind us, a fancy new shop, a huge car park, we don’t have shareholders or teams of staff, we have a small, dedicated team who treat the shop as their own. Which is incredible.

We can match, or even beat, big box supermarkets for price but along with that, we can offer a better quality product.

So many of our suppliers are local; Same with our eggs.
Our butchery is local, breads locally baked, local milk, the list goes on.

If you already shop with us, a genuine thank you. It’s hugely appreciated. And if you don’t shop with us, we hope maybe you will!

Eat better. Eat fresher. Save money. Support a small local business!

This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.

Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of yourself
And your hesitant light.

If you remain generous,
Time will come good;
And you will find your feet
Again on fresh pastures of promise,
Where the air will be kind
And blushed with beginning.
