Fabulous family run farm shop. Eggs are fantastic and when they come in the duck eggs are a real treat. We've had the odd goose egg too and made a great cake - didn't last long. The quality of the meat is of particularly high standard not just in terms of after death but also in its life on the farm. We talked to the pigs and watched them grow and then enjoyed the sausages later. It's great to be able to show the kids where food comes from and why it dies etc. The animals don't travel far to the abatoire either. So its all local and I really believe that's important. Even the products sold in the shop are sourced from local businesses. So we feel like we make an impact on our local economy.

I'm so glad I found this place! The food is amazingly fresh and tastes superb and is actually at very good prices when compared to similar in Sainsburys or Tesco. They are always coming up with new recipes and ideas at Lockey Farm, they have very friendly staff and are open at handy times on the weekend. I thoroughly recommend this shop to anyone in the area or passing through!

This is a brilliant farm shop selling excellent quality home produced meats and eggs. The family run business is extremely innovative and takes great pains in researching and buying in not only top quality local products but also a range of unusual and tempting sweets , sauces and sundries. The staff are freindly, courteous and knowledgeable in the extreme - I have had their family's eggs for 22 years and there are absolutely none better! They deserve every success for their hard work and I am delighted to see them expand.

Went to Lockey Farm Shop for the 1st time this morning & wanted to go back again this afternoon! A really nice friendly shop with lovely produce and lots of variety at VERY reasonable prices. I am now a new regular customer for them!

I've been shopping at Lockeys for I don't know how long, and have always had good friendly service, fresh food, and beautifully tender meats. Christmas venison was out of this world ! I recommend the Farm to everyone I meet.

This wonderful local farm shop is my hero because I am a very keen hobbyist cook with a prediliction for only the best ingredients. The meat supplied by the Butchers at Lockey farm is second to none. I recently bought a whole fillet of beef from Lockey Farm Butchers and I would rate it far higher than a similar fillet that I bought in a well known Knightsbridge Food Hall. Everything is fresh and produced locally. You can't beat it. The dedication of the family who run this business should be rewarded.

Lockey farm currently does the best eggs anywhere in the area! They are expanding their operation to include a farm shop and butchers. Cannot wait.
