From field to fork

Farming remains an important part of Worcestershire, and farm shops are one of the easiest ways to discover what the county produces.
Depending on the season, shelves may include fruit and vegetables grown nearby alongside meat, cheeses, baked goods, preserves and products from other local businesses.
Many farm shops now include cafés too, making them destinations in their own right rather than simply somewhere to pick up groceries.
