Village Greens
Village Greens are less than 1 mile from our roastery. They stock a selected range of our single estate coffees which are continually replenished each week. The coffees change with the season.
About Village Greens
They stock a full range of fresh, local produce including fruit and vegetables, meat, chicken, bread, cakes, preserves, dairy products including local cheese and ice cream, wines and beer. James and Catherine are delighted by the richness of the local produce available and the opportunity to make it available to a wider audience. Fifteen of their producers are based within 10 miles of the shop.
Better tasting
They are growing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables on the farm, grown using traditional methods and picked fresh for you each day for the best possible flavour. Their carefully selected local producers provide a wide range of other seasonal produce that tastes excellent.
Better for you
Village Green's fruit and vegetables are grown using traditional techniques and as naturally as possible; they only sell meat and poultry that has been reared humanely, with animals given the space they need and the time to grow at their natural rate. They have met all of their major suppliers and only accept produce from them when they are convinced that it meets their own high standards.
Better for the community
They try to minimise food miles by sourcing locally – most of their range has been grown or reared within 30 miles of the shop, and 18 suppliers based within 10 miles of the shop provide beef, lamb, chicken, sausages, ice cream, wine, chocolates, bread, milk, cream, cheese, cakes and more. This way they can ensure a fair deal for local farmers and food producers and help encourage the countryside economy. The shop and farm are staffed with local people and they use local materials and labour wherever possible.
Better for the planet
Fewer food miles means lower carbon emissions, fewer pesticides means greater biodiversity, less plastic packaging means less landfill. But most of all, better food means happier customers!
