Alder Carr Farmshop, Needham Market
This is how you imagine a farmshop. A bit of a hidden local secret, this farmshop has everything you could need, from a butcher's counter, deli and fresh, fruit and vegetables to bakery deliveries, wines and beers and even a self-refill cleaning and beauty products option. Outdoors there is so much more, with an enclosed courtyard & cafe being the perfect haven during summer month as well as a small picnic spot, play area and a nature trail to see the animals on the farm and spot the wildlife.
Jimmy’s Farm, Ipswich
This farmshop does have a great selection of fresh and local producer, massive deli counter and a lovely cafe to boot!
