‘Underrated’ Nottinghamshire farm shop is packed with ‘reasonably-priced’ produce ideal for winter stews
All its fruit and veg is sourced locally
With December just around the corner, many of us will be changing the types of food we eat.
Autumn and winter are the ideal times to try simple yet effective dishes, such as stews, soups and hot pots.
For hundreds of years these hearty meals have been commonplace during times of cold weather, mainly due to their health benefits.
Packed with meat and vegetables, by tucking into classic winter meals you’re not only keeping warm, but also maintaining your immune system.
Supermarkets are, of course, the obvious choice for sourcing the ingredients for these tasty seasonal meals, but if its freshness you’re after then farm shops are the place to go.
The vast majority of farm shops either source their produce directly from their own fields or from other local suppliers.
All of our county’s farm shops offer something unique, but one in particular has earned a reputation for selling tasty organic vegetables.
The ‘excellent’ fresh produce at Trinity Farm Organics
Located in Cossall, near Ilkeston, Trinity Farm Shop has been going strong since 1990.
Committed to selling the highest quality organic produce, much of the shop’s stock comes directly from the neighbouring farm.
The farm’s pledge not to use harmful chemicals or pesticides on its fields means consumers can be sure that the fruit and veg on sale has been grown the way nature intended.
What’s more, customers can enjoy a relaxing drink or light bite inside the farm shop’s on-site café, which has recently reopened following a fire in 2023.
Offering beautiful views over the countryside, the café sells tasty bites including scones, pastries and tarts.
Green-fingered customers can browse the large selection of plants, flowers and shrubs on offer at the nursery.
A recent visitor told Google reviews: “A beautiful place with nice produce and very friendly owners.
“Willing to listen and took time to take me to see and choose a pumpkin. I love the place.
“Love their free range eggs, local honey, organic garlic, ginger, turmeric and other vegetables. I’ll definitely visit again.”
