Places I have looked at and liked, and some I looked at and loved
http://www.laverstokepark.co.uk/
Love this place, they do great food, have ethics that I subscribe to and the ice-cream is amazing. We have visited and bought from the shop direct. They do deliver and I may well try that option soon. I recommend the buffalo mozzarella, the cheese, the bacon...... and did I mention the ice cream?

This is the local one to Reading and Earley, there are probably others scattered around the country. I like the veg, the bread, the shampoo and the selection as a whole. Its always been quiet when I've been which makes a nice change from the din in Tes** On my next visit I'll be looking out for chicken as I have been told it comes from http://www.rothervalleyorganics.com, and I like the look of them. We dont tend to eat red meat so cant ever comment on lamb, beef and pork

To be honest these have absolutely nothing to do with a lifestyle or shopping choice........ but they are seriously the best brownies I've ever had

I love the fish at Loch Fyne, and the salmon fillets are not only nicer and tastier than those I used to get in the supermarket but I have found them to be cheaper. I have also bought Hake, Pollock and Cod. The site is for delivery but we go direct into our local restaurant and buy over the fish counter. Always friendly.

This is for the pies delivered, and a list of shops to eat them in, we have been to the Oxford shop many times, also bought the pies and love them. Highly recommend the Heidi pie and the Wild Shroom pie. The pies are not small and it has been known for us to share a pie between two with veg and potatoes.

Lovely Deli, sells great cheese (and they have a lot of knowledge) and I highly recommend the soft middle scotch eggs. Also sell great bread, chutney, honey and oil. If you have time to have a baguette and a cup of tea

One of my prime places - I get a lot of my veg and basics from here, they also do a frozen section where you can buy (for example) cooked yorkshires individually, broad beans by the scoop, berries by the scoop and individual dumplings. Friendly staff. A new cafe that we have not tested out yet
http://www.tvfm.org.uk/market/4/beaconsfield/
A farmers market in Beaconsfield, we like this and recommend the eggs, apple juice and honey
http://www.tvfm.org.uk/market/2/ascot/
Farmers Market in Ascot - again a nice simple market with the same apple juices, would also recommend the bacon and eggs
http://www.maidenheadfarmersmarket.org.uk/
Farmers Market in Maidenhead - I cant recommend Just Biscuits highly enough.

Our local milkman, bringing us goats milk and juice before we even get up, happy days

We used A&C in the past, were disappointed, left them.......for ages....... and now we tried them again. Maybe its the new owners but things have improved. Had one order so far, happy with that and I will be back.
Oh, and here are places I want to go to
http://www.theorganicfarmshop.co.uk/farm/
Farm, cafe, local orders, courses and camping
http://www.rhug.co.uk/
Farm Shop, delivery and restaurant. Am very tempted to try a delivery but may well wait until we next go to Aberdovey and call in on the way home to test, taste and try
http://www.topsausages.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=1
Sausages that look so good and have no nasties in them, I want to try these
http://www.sjfrederick.co.uk/
Good, perhaps excellent, ethos on how to raise a chicken, would love to try but prices a little out of my reach at present when delivery is added.
http://www.simplesimonspies.co.uk/menu_pies.htm#dw
I have a weakness for pies....... I will try these at some stage
There are others but my attention is waning....... I am looking out at a cold drizzly day and am contemplating lunch.
