    I wondered how everyone is? We went for our first strawberry picking session yesterday at Graces fruit farm Near Saffron Walden and they were really yummy! We plan to try the strawberry picking at the farm shop near Westley but when I called they werent ready yet but it gives me a good excuse to go again in a few weeks.

    Just spotted this thread and thought I must mention the best Butcher ever. I have never tasted meat like it.

    It was voted Suffolk Butcher of the year last year.

    Its Swiss Farm in Ashbocking Ipswich

    Even better they have a stall at Stowmarket Market on a Thursday and Saturday. I can not rave about this meat enough.

    Just logged on to this thread. I live out at Lowestoft (as far east as you can get).
    I only wanted to say that I agree with Donna 100% about Swiss Farm. I travel the county daily and try to call in here for meat when I can. The meat is ALWAYs excellent and can be cheaper that the supermarket (fresh chicken breasts for instance). As always you get what you pay for.

    Hiya I'd be interested in the Ipswich food co-op as live in the area. Also the shop is weigh n save and has recently changed hands and now has about 50% less stock but still good. (scoop and save)
    Also there is a lovely fruit n veg shop opposite bookworld and next to Oxfam charity shop or close in the same road as BHS & The Ancient house Lakeland PLastics.

    It sells a wide variety including seaweed/pulses/extotci veg and normal veg/fruit at market prices and lovely staff too.
  • I've got this Thursday and Friday off work and would like to visit a really good food market. Please don't suggest King's Lynn as I live there and the market now unfortuately consists of only a few stalls

    Hi Everyone, hope you're OK. Am hoping to head off to Westley farm shop on Saturday and do a bit of PYO! Let's hope the weather holds up for a while!

    Only found this thread tonight and haven't had time to read it too closely so forgive me if this has already been mentioned. I love the farm shop on the road between Hadleigh (Suffolk) and Monks Eleigh. Sorry I don't remember what its called. Its on the left just before 'Corncraft' coming from Hadleigh. There is also a fish stall in the car park outside and a cafe. I haven't checked it out but last time I was there I saw a sign for a 'walk' from the car park (I think it was to see the animals) that might be interesting for the children in the holidays.
