If you’re looking for an organic and sustainable
approach to your food shop, visit one of East Anglia’s
best farm shops.
Back to the Garden
Letheringsett, Holt NR25 7JJ
Sample some of Norfolk’s finest organic meat and vegetables at this
treasure trove. Much more than just a shop, it has a butchers, deli, café and
restaurant. All the meat you find at the butchers from the succulent steaks
to the tantalising turkey has been reared organically on their private farm.
No wonder this organic store is in ‘The Times Top 20 Farm Shops’.

Maple Farm
Kelsale, Saxmundham, Suffolk
Owned and run by the Kendall family who have been producing organic
products for over 50 years, the Maple Farm Shop prides itself on harvesting
their crop only hours before it hits the shelves in the farm shop and local
shops in the area, so customers receive the freshest vegetables, meat, eggs
and poultry for miles around. Not only does the family pride themselves on
their organic principles but they also work to protect rare breed livestock
and local flora and fauna as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
