Fantastic seasonal organic vegetables grown as part of a fantastic agroforestry system. Definitely worth stopping at pinch too for a coffee and kroller.
Always worth a visit - stocked up on lentils and fresh organic veggies. Even better when Pinch is open to grab a coffee.
Farm shop and cafe. Supplied by the working farm and other Local business's Its lovely and quiet with no main roads nearby. Local haunt for wealthy locals sipping coffee with dogs. Great to see locals supporting these ventures. No Riff Raff as reported below. Perhaps the commenter below has royal connections. Cafe open Thurs-Sun. The best tasting coffee. Think Black Dog deli or Magpie only better! You can't get breakfast or lunch though. See Pinch website.

A lovely friendly farm shop, selling organic produce, which includes meats, vegetables and allsorts of other goodies. Naturally, it’s all a tad on the pricey side, but that’s what you have to expect with homegrown organic farming and the quality is certainly there. The owner was super friendly and helpful. The site is also the same as where Pinch café is located so my top tip is do your shopping in the farm shop first and then pop next door for delicious coffee is and crullers - you won’t be disappointed.
Superb quality here. Today picked up some beautiful gooseberries, courgettes, agretti, tomatoes plus some v good taramasalata from Pinch next door. The flour is excellent too, not over-processed like so many on the market. Farming organically in the UK at this level is no mean feat. An essential place to stock up if you are staying in east Suffolk.
Great farm shop with an amazing selection of organic, homegrown or locally grown producer. Friendly staff when you see them, as it is mostly done on an honesty system. I got a bit excited by all the hodmedods stuff, which I'm looking forward to incorporating into some new baking. Be sure to check the Pinch next door too for some amazing treats, including the best ice cream in Suffolk.
