Roots is a farm shop and cafe owned by Will and Meg Edmonds, and is a five minute drive away. I shop there frequently, buying items for the welcome baskets for our guests and unfortunately never have the time to stop for a coffee and cake. There are tables outside as well as in and Will and Meg have made a number of changes recently to make the coffee shop very appealing, including introducing real coffee. The cakes are home-made and look delicious. Produce in the farm shop area is usually local (a particular favourite is Just Rachel’s ice-cream) or even produced on Will and Meg’s own farm and much of it is organic. They have their own meat and goods for sale include vegetables, of course, eggs, dairy produce, apple juice, ciders and perry, preserves and plants. A couple of years ago, the pair appeared on Jimmy Doherty’s Farming Heroes on BBC TV.
