We marked our first anniversary on Winchester High Street with celebration of local produce and community support to mark twelve months of bringing premium local produce to the heart of the city.

Since opening our doors in November 2024, the farm shop has become a destination for conscious shoppers seeking local  meat, fresh produce, and artisan products from Hampshire and the surrounding counties.

The milestone comes as independent retailers continue to prove their worth on Britain’s high streets, but we are demonstrating strong community support for specialist food retailers that prioritise provenance and quality.

Over the past twelve months, we have processed more than 56,000 customer transactions at our Winchester shop, becoming an integral part of the local food scene. The shop has sold:

  • More than 5600 loaves of bread
  • More than 3000 boxes of eggs
  • More than 4100 steaks from the butchery counter
  • More than 2300 bottles of milk
  • 3578 kg of strawberries

The butchery counter, featuring meat from our own herd in Bishop’s Waltham, has proven particularly popular with customers seeking traceable, high-quality meat cut to their specifications by our skilled butchers.

To mark the occasion, we hosted a birthday celebration, inviting customers to enjoy complimentary birthday cake and a free hot drink on a first-come, first-served basis on Saturday 8th November. 

We’re overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from the Winchester community over our first year. From day one, our mission has been to connect local producers with local customers, and it’s been incredible to see how much appetite there is for quality, local food on the high street.

As we enter our second year, we continues to expand our range of local suppliers and specialty products. Christmas meat orders are now open, with customers able to pre-order everything from Norfolk Bronze turkeys to award-winning pies and carefully selected wines.

The farm shop specialises in locally-sourced meat, seasonal vegetables, artisan cheeses, fresh bread, and a curated selection of Hampshire produce, all available at 154 High Street, Winchester.
