Most of us do our weekly ‘big shop’ in supermarkets these days, but when it comes to freshness and quality they can sometimes be found wanting.
It’s widely accepted that if you’re after high quality produce direct from source, farm shops are the place to go.
As the name suggests, most farm shops stock predominantly home-grown produce from within a few miles radius of the site.
As we transition from summer to autumn here in the UK, harvest season is in full swing - meaning farm shops across the country will be stuffed with fresh vegetables.
Given Nottinghamshire’s rural status, it’s unsurprising that the county is packed with top-rated far shops, selling everything from fresh bakes to locally-reared meats.
If you’re never visited one of Nottinghamshire’s amazing farm shops, autumn is the perfect time to do so.
We’ve taken a look at the county’s best farm shops, ranked by Google reviews.
