Dorset, Somerset &amp; Bristol

<p>Thanks for letting us know &#8211; will have to pay them a visit!</p>


<p>Redbarn farm shop, Mudford, Yeovil.</p>
<p>Have so many local gifts as well as local produce. The staff are very friendly along with both of the farm cats 🐈</p>


<p>It sounds amazing &#8211; thank you!</p>


<p>You certainly have missed a doubly brilliant farm shop at Pitney in Somerset. The farm is run by Rob and Lizzie Waldron and is  organic. Super eggs from their happy free range chickens. Super pork products of all cuts, including yummy sausages, from their own organically reared pigs. The shop is small but well stocked with local goodies, choc, cider, jams and marmalades, cheeses, butter etc. There is a veg shack attached with their own grown produce plus a super restaurant onsite selling all organic food &#8211; even more yummy! Their address is as follows: Glebe Farm, Wood Birds Hill Lane, Pitney, Langport, Somerset. TA10 9AP. My Partner and I are just happy customers so I&#8217;m only giving an overview and have probably missed out all sorts of essential facts!</p>


<p>the trading post farm shop at south petherton (Lopen head) is well worth a visit.  they stock amazing products and the staff are so friendly and have coped so well during lock down going the extra mile</p>
