You may be surprised to find a farm shop in Twickenham, well this one is owned by Jody David Scheckter (a South African Formula One World Drivers' Champion). When he retired from motor racing, he decided he wanted to produce the best food that he could. In Jody's own words "it all got out of hand" and he now farms 4,500 acres!
Laverstoke Park Farm is both biodynamic and organic.
It's a proper butchers shop:
at the back you can see whole carcasses and you can choose exactly what cut you get.
Their free-range organic poultry have spent time outside, getting a natural diet, which means happier hens and tasty meat which is better for you.
They also sell dark Maran eggs.
Their beef:
comes from traditional Hereford and Aberdeen Angus cattle, they also have some very rare Native Angus cattle, and also Water Buffalo. They also sell their organic buffalo mozzarella.
All their sausage is gluten free:
and that includes their organic Boerewors (Farmer's sausage in South African)
Jody believes a farm shop should sell what they produce, and as a result they's started producing a lot of things!
I counted 27 Great Taste awards on their web site! Next time I visit, I'd like to try their ice-cream and organic bottle conditioned ale.
Recent food scares have made people question what they eat. This is a place where you can trust what your eating, as they've produced it themselves to the highest standards.
