The best farms
- 1Abbey Home FarmMeat & eggs 路 Cirencester4.5 (477 reviews)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.
- 2Chase MilkRaw milk & eggs 路 Chepstow4.8 (177 reviews)Chase Milk comes from a family farm at Tidenham Chase near Chepstow, between the Severn and Wye rivers in the Forest of Dean. The farm bottles its own raw milk alongside pasteurised, and sells chicken and duck eggs straight from the farm as well.
The milk is sold from a vending machine in a small shed at the farm gate, painted like a cow and generally open around the clock. Bring a bottle or pick one up there, and look out for their ice cream and the farm walks listed on their site too.
- 3Shipton MillBakery 路 Tetbury4.3 (130 reviews)We started Shipton Mill in 1979 to mill flour from the most fantastic grains, working with like-minded farmers who promote biodiversity and who value and seek to look after the soil: farmers whose grains speak of the soil and climate they were grown in, and a particular place and time.
We are always looking forwards and evolving how we operate. Our mill is now powered by energy from 100% renewable resources, including our own solar panels. Any excess heat from the milling processes is converted into heating for our offices and provides hot water all year round.
We have eliminated plastic from all our website retail orders, which are packaged in FSC-certified boxes and made entirely from recycled paper fibres, and which are 100% recyclable and compostable. The mill, the surrounding river, and the mill pond are home to a thriving and diverse ecosystem, including wild brown trout, kingfishers, damselflies, and otters. Now that we have completed the restoration of the mill wheel, we're working on generating our own electricity from it and the river that flows under the mill.
We strongly believe that farming practises informed by the agro-ecological principles that we support will maintain and improve soil fertility for generations to come. As part of this philosophy we champion organic growing practises, working with nature not against it. We certify our organic flours through the Soil Association.
We sell organic flours, gluten free flours, ancient grain flours, yeast and other baking ingredients.
