Visit the Veg Shed farm shop
Open year round, seasonal veg, organic pantry items, local producers, no fuss.
Two farms.
One living breathing
idea.
We're not a supermarket or a food brand.
We're a group of market gardens, of small scale farms: real soil, real people, and real vegetables grown the way they should be. Come and see where your food actually comes from.
OUR FARMS
Two Sites.
One Mission.
Hampshire Market Garden at The Lockerley Estate, Manor Farm, East Tytherley
Our market garden at The Lockerley Estate was our second site, but is now the home of our veg box packing, The Veg Shed farm shop, community volunteer days on Thursdays and a thriving community connected to farming between Romsey and Stockbridge.
The Veg Shed farm shop is run on the same principles as everything else: honest, seasonal, and supporting local. You'll find our own veg alongside flour from Lockerley Estate, bread from 108 Bakery, as well as other local producers and growers delicious products. We also have a full range of organic pantry items, zero waste home and personal products, and so much more. It's a proper farm shop helping you with healthy choices for full meals, not a curated deli or gift shop.

OUR STORY
Regenerative isn't a buzzword here, organic isn't just for posh people... This way of growing food is the whole point.
Many farms take from the land. We're trying to give back. Regenerative or Organic farming, to us, means thinking about the soil first, because healthy soil grows healthy food, which builds healthy communities.
It's a longer game than conventional agriculture, and a harder one. But the results speak for themselves.
We don't use synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. We build soil health through composting, cover cropping, and careful rotation.
We're certified organic because the certification matters: it's a verifiable standard, not a marketing claim.
And we grow what grows well here, in this soil, in this climate, at this time of year. Which means your veg box changes week to week, because that's what seasonal actually means.
01
Soil First
Every decision we make starts by asking what it does to the soil. Build the soil and everything else follows.
02
No Chemicals. Ever.
We have never used synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Not once. The land we farm is healthier every year as a result.
03
Seasonal & Honest
We grow what the season gives us and we're honest about it. Your box reflects what's genuinely at its best right now.
04
Community Rooted
As a CIC, our purpose is the community around us. The farm exists for the people, not the other way around.
