More than 60 years ago, we began to turn our family's farmland into a business. Growing crops and working with local food producers, we provided them with an outlet to sell their wonderful goods. What began as a simple passion for real food and a desire to feed our children better, has grown into Smiths Farm Shop, a family-run, ethical business with a real focus on sustainability and responsible farming.
As a family we started out growing strawberries, using an honesty box outside a gate in the summer of 1958, before moving onto potatoes in the winter. We also became one of the first UK farms to bring asparagus over from the eastern Mediterranean countries, helping to build on the popularity of the vegetable which is now readily available in most places now.

Our asparagus, potatoes and pumpkin squashes come straight from our farm to your fork. We are proud of our seasonal produce and believe you will not find fresher or tastier vegetables anywhere else in the county. To ensure we supply a wide range of other products for our customers we source British farmers from across the rest of the country who are leading specialists in their industry.

I have not been to Smith's Farm Shop for many years. But the difference is amazing. Much larger; and the cheese counter in particular offers some wonderful choices. We bought some excellent bread and some birthday cards! The coffee shop also looks worth a visit the next time we go. Plenty of parking space as well.

This is a great shop, wonderfully varied choice and great quality. Some things can be a bit pricy but you can be sure the quality will be good so worth paying out. The only reservation during the latter stages of the lockdown is the amount of people in the shop at any one time is high and some people still won't wear masks and can crowd other shoppers but overall fantastic shop. Please go and check for yourselves.

Recently purchased: mango for 95p that was completely brown like bruising and inedible inside. Conference pears that won’t start to ripen after a week in the warm, probably because they have been picked too early without enough enzyme. A jar of Drivers Pickled onions which are so sour they are inedible. ( The previous brand stocked here were great) The jar contains no pickling spice just this awful flavoured vinegar. Sorry I’ve had good stuff from here but this is three misses in two shops here.

I had quite a bad experience at daily bread in Northampton were a member of staff was exptionaly rude to me because I wasn't wearing a mask. being both vegan and gluten free I struggled to find the things I liked eles were .... HOWEVER that has changed today as I visited Smiths Farm shop, on recommendation from a good friend of mine- no rudeness… from staff, they were all very helpfull, a HUGE collection of things for vegans and gluten free people and things for non vegan too!! and all sorts of other things I will be here again soon with my hubbie and friends after lockdown !! its 6 stars
