Everyone loves a farm shop trip for a mooch about and to pick up some tasty artisan treats. But, rightly or wrongly, they've got a reputation for being a bit of a pricey way of getting fresh food.
But with prices on the rise pretty much everywhere right now, would a farm shop big shop work out that much more expensive than a weekly trip to the supermarket? At award-winning farm shop The Lambing Shed in Knutsford, bosses recently posted on social media a "price comparison" aiming to show that they're NOT that much more expensive than supermarkets.
They also pointed out why the extra pennies make it worth your while to support local farmers and makers. The 'posh' farm shop, that holds the title of best farm shop cafe in the UK, features an array of local produce from farms in Cheshire and Lancashire and home-reared beef and lamb.
