How current is the data?

We review listings regularly and rely on owners and customers to flag changes. Look for the “Updated” date on each profile.

How do I find farm shops near me?

Use our interactive map to search by location, or browse by county. You can also search for specific produce like “strawberries” or “organic meat” to find farms that sell what you need.
