- 1Gutchpool FarmMeat · Gillingham5 (24 reviews)Gutchpool Farm at Gillingham in Dorset raises sheep on a regenerative, grass based system. The flock is Pasture for Life certified, reared on a 100% grass fed diet and grazed on a diverse mix of pasture managed without artificial chemicals, which the farm credits for the flavour, quality and texture of its lamb and hogget.
Lamb and hogget boxes come in three sizes and are sold online, while individual cuts can be bought and collected from the farm, where the shop is open every day except Sunday (ring the bell if no one is about). The farm also runs a bed and breakfast and a wool studio selling knit kits.
- 2Tamarisk Farm ShopMeat & eggs · Dorchester4.9 (24 reviews)Tamarisk Farm is an organic farm at West Bexington on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, near Bridport, run so that farming and wildlife sit side by side. The beef, lamb, hogget and mutton is slow matured on grass and herbs, 100% grass fed and finished under the Pasture for Life scheme.
Meat boxes and individual cuts are sold through the online shop and from the farm, along with stoneground flours, wholegrain cereals and pulses, seasonal vegetables and salad, pastured eggs, undyed knitting wool and natural sheepskins. The shop opens on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings.

Maycottage Goats Milk SoapRaw milk · WimborneMaycottage Goats Milk Soap is a cottage industry in the Dorset countryside near Wimborne, built around a small herd of registered British Toggenburg goats who free range in the paddock alongside the chickens and sleep at night in stables at the bottom of the garden. The goats are milked once a day and managed as naturally and holistically as possible, with homeopathy and herbs in place of chemicals, and no chemicals are ever used on their grazing or hay.
The milk goes two ways: into handmade cold press soap with no chemical additives, artificial fragrances or colours, and sold as raw goat milk, primarily in summer when there is excess beyond soap making, as demand outstrips what the small herd produces. The Weston A Price London map lists the raw milk as available directly from the farm, with a stall at Wimborne Farmers Market on the third Saturday of each month, 9am to 1pm. Soaps and shampoo bars are sold through the website and local stockists.

What visitors say
Had an amazing stay in the Blue room, so comfy and welcoming. Rachel is an excellent host and chef, and the B&B is in a great location for pubs, walks and national trust properties.
