Wotton Farm Shop in Gloucestershire
Wotton Farm Shop is an established, family run business providing a friendly personal service; we offer a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, either grown on site or sourced from local suppliers. We also stock local meat, free range poultry, cheese, bread, free range eggs, milk, and cream along with good, hearty home cooked food made in the shop kitchen. In addition there is Pick Your Own soft fruit in season plus an on site plant nursery - and so much more as well!
The shop is owned and run by the Grimes family - Roger, Paul and Lynn - who have lived in and around Wotton for many generations. Roger is responsible for the meat and cheese in the shop as well as the buying of all the fruit and vegetables, Paul, who is Roger's son, does all of the growing on the farm and in the nursery with his team and Lynn, Roger's wife, is the cook and runs the kitchen with Ros and the rest of her team. Sarah, the shop manager, is also a family member.
The season starts with asparagus from late April, strawberries and our other soft fruits from mid May to September, autumn onions and pumpkins followed by Christmas trees, holly wreaths and mistletoe. Most of our own produce is available 'PYO' and elsewhere we have contracted a number of local producers to save on food miles and in turn help improve the environment.
We offer a specialist hanging basket service whereby we take in empty baskets, re-fill with beautiful plants and grow them on in our heated nursery for collection in late May or early June. Alternatively, new hanging baskets together with a broad range of bedding plants are available mid April until the end of June.
