Community Development Action Hertfordshire
Farm Shops
Farm Shops are located all over the rural areas of Hertfordshire and provide a vital service for rural communities which have lost local shops and services. They are essential for those living in areas with poor transport as well as catering for passing trade and families visiting the countryside looking for lunch, snacks, tea and good quality food and goods in an independent outlet. Farm Shops, which often include Cafes or Tea Rooms, provide fresh local produce including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, bread and dairy as well as a wide range of products, gifts, household items plus firewood and solid fuel.
