Grown here, or a field or two away
Hedgerow sells beef, lamb, eggs and vegetables from its own fields, alongside cheese, apples, honey and bread from farms and kitchens nearby. Every label says which is ours and which is a neighbour's, and the seasonal boxes go out every Friday.

Where each shelf comes from
We grow a lot, but not everything. This is the honest list, and it changes with the seasons.
| Produce | Grown or made by | How far it travels |
|---|---|---|
| Beef and lamb | Our own herd and flock, slaughtered at a small abattoir | Raised here; the abattoir is 12 miles away |
| Eggs | Our own hens | Laid on the farm |
| Potatoes, carrots, kale, squash and leeks | Our own fields | Picked on the farm |
| Tomatoes and salad, summer only | Our polytunnels | Picked on the farm |
| Apples and apple juice | An orchard family two villages over | About 6 miles |
| Milk, butter and cheese | The dairy farm over the hill | About 3 miles |
| Bread and cakes | The village bakery | About 1 mile |
| Lemons, bananas, rice and coffee | A wholesaler | Imported, and labelled as imported |
From late winter into spring our own vegetables run thin. In those weeks more of the shelf comes from neighbours and the wholesaler, and the labels say so.

What we grow, and what we buy in
Our cattle and sheep graze the fields you can see from the car park, and the hens move round the orchard in a house on wheels. Vegetables grow in the lower fields and in two polytunnels, picked the morning they go on the shelf.
We are not certified organic, so we never use the word. We use as little spray as we can, and we tell anyone who asks exactly what went on a field. When something comes from a neighbour or from further away, it carries their name or the word imported.
- Green label: grown or raised on this farm
- Brown label: a neighbouring farm, named
- Imported goods labelled as imported

Round the farm
Shoppers and box customers (example reviews)
The box list says which vegetables came from the farm and which came from the wholesaler in March. That honesty is why the order has stayed weekly for two years.
Half a lamb cut exactly to the list, labelled joint by joint and ready on the day promised. The shoulder alone fed eight.
Breakfast in the barn, then eggs, honey and a bag of leeks for the week. A good Saturday morning out of town.
Questions at the till
Is everything here grown on your farm?
No, and we would rather say so. Meat, eggs and most vegetables are ours. Cheese, apples, honey and bread come from neighbours we name on the label, and a few things such as lemons and coffee are imported and labelled that way.
Is the meat organic?
We are not certified organic, so we do not call it organic. The animals graze our fields, are fed our own hay in winter and go to a small abattoir twelve miles away.
Can the contents of a box be changed?
Tell us what you never want and we leave it out. Everything else follows the season, which is the point of a seasonal box.
When do boxes arrive?
Every Friday, between 10:00 and 16:00 within ten miles, or ready to collect from the shop after 13:00.
How does ordering half a lamb or a beef box work?
Send the order form with your cutting wishes. We give you a date, usually two or three weeks ahead, and the meat is ready labelled and packed cold.
Are dogs welcome?
On leads in the yard and on the outside tables, yes. Only assistance dogs can come into the shop and the cafe.
Start a box or order meat by the half
Choose a box or a bulk meat order, give us a date and tell us anything we should know. A reply confirming the order comes within one working day, and payment is arranged directly with the shop.
- Skip or stop a box with a message by Wednesday
- Cutting lists followed joint by joint
- Collection or local delivery on Fridays
Come up the farm lane
There is room to park in the yard, and the walk past the hens to the shop door is short and level.
