Support British Food with The Farm Shop Guide (as seen in The Times, Waitrose Weekend, and The Telegraph)
England, Scotland and Wales (and Ireland of course, but that’s a whole other book) have some incredible farm shops, artisan food producers, and farm shop cafés and restaurants. Printslinger’s new book, The Farm Shop Guide, will help you find them near you or when on your travels. To find local farm shops near you, plus farmers’ markets and foodie festivals, dip into our fresh new farm shop directory today. As Guy Singh-Watson, Riverford Organic Farm veg box pioneer, said, “Proper farm shops – ones that actually grow, rear, or make most of their own produce with love, attention to detail, and a genuine connection to the land – are a beautiful thing. This book will help you find them.”
To make it easier for you to find and support local farms, farmers, food producers, and farm shops, The Farm Shop Guide features over 160 of them. It has organic farm shops, family-friendly farm events, seasonal farm experiences, and dog-friendly cafés on farms around the country. For farm-fresh produce from some of the country’s very best farm shops, get or gift a copy of The Farm Shop Guide today. It’s the ultimate book gift for the foodie in your life.

Support British farming and independent, local food businesses
At Printslinger books, we’re all about seeking out and celebrating smaller food businesses. The ones that go the extra mile for their staff, the owners who genuinely care about you as their customer, and the places that are there for you when the chips are down. Our three current guidebooks are The Extra Mile: Delicious Alternatives to Motorway Services, The Coastal Café Guide, and The Farm Shop Guide. All have been Amazon #1 Bestsellers in 2024 (even The Extra Mile Edition 4, which came out in 2023).
It just goes to show that people love to support the local people, local businesses, and the local cafés and farm shops that our books bring to your attention. For farm-fresh produce, artisanal local food producers, and the best farm shops near you, support British food and farmers and get The Farm Shop Guide today.
To buy all three books at the special bundled price of just £42 (currently better value than you’ll find them for on Amazon), visit our online bookshop today.
