Abbey Home Farm is a Soil Association certified organic farm outside Cirencester, home to The Organic Farm Shop and cafe selling its own vegetables, meat, dairy, bread and honey.
Abbey Home Farm is an organic farm on the edge of Cirencester, home to The Organic Farm Shop and its cafe.
The family took the farm on in 1990 and now keep rare breed organic Shorthorn cows, laying hens, table birds and pigs, alongside a 15 acre organic market garden growing over 80 varieties of fruit, vegetables and herbs through the year.
Milk is pasteurised on the farm and sold non homogenised from a vending machine in the shop, with their own yoghurt, cream, occasional butter and cheeses including Wiggold Cheddar beside it. The farm even grows spring wheat for its Abbey Loaf, milled up the road at Shipton Mill, and the shop tops up with produce from other organic growers so the range holds up all year round.

Lovely food and shop, friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Good place.
Not dog friendly. Lovely setting with great outdoor seating area but turned around and left. Such a shame.
The produce is great, they grow as much themselves as possible which is fantastic. The people are hugely friendly and it’s a lovely site.

I've been to a lot of campsites. This was definitely the worst. I've never come across such an early arrival time as 5pm. When I realised this cut off and that I wouldn't get there in time, I phoned, but the farm shop staff said they don't really deal with camping and to email, I'd get a quick reply. I did not! There is no way to arrive after 5pm, no contact number, nothing. I walked around the whole site for 40 mins til I found the camping, and another camper gave me the code for the gate so I could drive in. I don't know what a family with young children would do if they were stuck in traffic and arrived after 5. Because I hadn't checked in, I was woken up AT 6.50AM by a man outside my tent asking if I'd booked. I can understand needing to ensure people have paid, but waking them up so early is uncalled for, and probably disturbed other campers. I was told I had pitched in the wrong place and as some branches from ash trees (that were nearer to correctly pitched tents than mine!) might fall on me, I had to move my tent for the second night. So I moved my tent to a different campsite - definitely the right decision. I had only pitched there in search of shade as there is really none anywhere and it's very hot. The compost toilets are up steep steps with large gaps, not safe for younger children to use independently. The camping field isn't "wild camping", it's just minimalist. There isn't more nature than other sites. The only positive of this site is the price - cheapest place around. I chose it for its eco credentials but that's not enough to make it a good site. A warm welcome would go a long way.
Great selection of produce alongside organic detergent dispensers etc. The best Perl Las cheese as well.
A great range to pick from, we always enjoy shopping here. And the sell Bojo ice-cream and their cafe food Italian stew today was superb and so tasty.
They run a brilliant holiday club for children with great activities and lovely staff. The Farm shop is beautiful too.
Limited choice, however easy parking and lovely coffee shop. Quality organic produce available and unusual gift ware.
The best Organic Farm Shop in the UK. I have been to most. Hilary & Will & now their children, have devoted themselves to this purpose in life of helping others gain improved nutrition & healing & longevity through their perspective of offering wholesome organic food. The quality is outstanding. Their commitment to this is so deep that it influences every aspect of the 'business' which means it's ethical, honest & transparent. They have cultivated the best staff to complement this beautiful location and going isn't 'shopping' it's an experience. You will find fair pricing, honest labeling and a rich assortment of healthy and chemical free organic produce both fresh and otherwise. Once you've come here, there is no returning to Tesco or other stores. It's a lifestyle that extends life as well as enhancing ones health whilst alive. I deeply support their mission, everything about this place is positive, including the beautiful grounds, fresh produce and dear hearted people who run it. Beyond highly recommended and you MUST try their cafe, the food is excellent especially the Sunday Lunch and the salads. A wonderful place.
Stayed in the campsite and didn't disappoint! Proper back to basics and a gorgeous view. Perfect for switching off and disconnecting from technology for a bit. Farm shop and cafe is also lovely, staff are very helpful. Would recommend!
I was served a very bland, barely warm Dahl served on a stainless compartmented tray - like a school dinner. Cost me £18, was in a rush otherwise would have sent it back. I like to support organic set ups but this was shocking. Salads recently had were delicious and vegan cakes not fresh that day. The produce in the shop is great.
I love this place so much!!! They serve very good food. Fresh and delicious. I’m not vegetarian but I enjoyed the vegetarian food that I had for lunch so much!!! Had breakfast too and they have very nice latte! Although price could be a bit expensive, I think it’s still worth it. They sell organic products and their farm products and some printed clothings as well.
This place is phenomenal, stopped off by chance as I had time to spare. The variety and quality of produce, especially for vegans and vegetarians was incredible. The staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Lunch was spectacular! Free parking and a mini childrens outdoor play area. This is a must visit if you live or are just visiting the are.
