This has been a little treasure for me. A farm shop with a wide range of locally sourced produce, fresh and baked goods and a selection of gifts can all be found at this well stocked farm shop. There’s a cafe too and it’s about a four mile drive from the property. Can be a little pricey, but definitely worth a visit.
