Hi Clairie...welcome to the forum...my wife and I also have a small farm shop down here in Stafford; take a look at our website and if we can advise or help you with anything just let us know...best of luck

Wow - thanks Farmer, that's really kind of you! I'll definitely check out your site. It's hard to start small but be worthwhile! Thanks!

I'd like to have my own wee "farm shop"

my problem is I don't have a farm - nor a shop.

I think i could get a shop built on my property no problem, and there are plenty of farmers nearby, so i'm sure i could find suppliers. But as you can see, i'm a LONG way from having my own wee shop

Maybe i'll pop up to perth to see your shop Claire - get some ideas (and if i'm passing by stafford!!!)

Hi Claire, I just this minute registered and read your message. I'm in Perthshire too. Bankfoot to be precise. Up until this year we were members of Perth Farmers Market but found that due to increasing costs and insurance etc we're having a year off. We sold our plants at the market, mostly herbs, wildflowers,veg and trees. I'm missing it but what can you do?! We have to be realistic so we're now putting all our efforts into the gardening side of the business which is great. Anyway, my name is Kerry and I'd love to hear more about your farm shop plans. Good luck
