The Shop
Our farm shop showcases local organic growers, artisan producers and a range of ethical and sustainable household items.
With a growing range of over 400 products, we aim to meet most of your daily needs. Products include fresh fruit and vegetables, pastas, grains, cereals, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, sugars, flours, spices, loose teas, chocolates, oils, vinegars, baked goods, cheeses, meats, dairy, household goods, detergent refills, sanitary products and much more. We sell by weight, so customers are encouraged to bring their own containers. Containers are first weighed and then filled with items from the shop. The weight of the container is taken off at the till.
Over 95% of the food we sell is certified organic, in transition to organic certification, or part of our Pathways to Organic Markets initiative. We place an emphasis on quality, seasonality and biodiversity. We celebrate open-pollinated heirloom varieties that have disappeared from supermarket supply chains, while sharing information on how to enjoy your discovery. We prioritise local producers and support local artisans and makers. Our pricing policies are transparent, consistent and fair, for both the producer and the consumer. Household goods and hygiene products are chosen for their ethical and low waste values.
We want shopping for food to be friendly, fun and sociable, full of pleasant surprises and new adventures. Members of staff are on hand to offer support and encouragement. We sometimes offer simple SCOOP soups and stews, local musicians play live acoustic sets, children draw in our community corner, customers chat and exchange ideas.
Opening Hours:
Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm

First time visiting Scoop today and took my 6yr old daughter and 7yr old son with me. They were so intrigued and the young man serving was so helpful and patient with all their questions. We came away with a few bits to start our Scoop journey. I will certainly be back and making it a frequent event. Thank you

Love going to SCOOP. High quality products, friendly staff and great ethos. Bought local honey, eggs, olive oil, puy lentils, turmeric and fresh vegetables. Take your own containers and bottles. You weigh them and then weigh the goods at the end.

Lovely produce and a fun place to shop. It's a bit like playing shops when you were small as you get to weigh things. The chocolate buttons are rather scrummy as well and the cheese and it just feels nice as you are doing your bit for the environment.
