Chegworth Farm Shop - Kensington Church Street

Chegworth Valley Juices are a familiar sight at Londons Farmers Markets, in fact family man & farmer David insists they were present on the opening day of every farmers market they frequent. It is no surprise then to find them at the forefront of a new move in the business of farming – urban farm shops.

The Chegworth shop is at the nicer end of Kensington Church Street and with Clarke’s as a near neighbour it’s a foodie haven. In a charming nod to chegworth’s roots, on Market days the back doors of the shop are flung open and the shop becomes a gateway to the Farmers and their wares.

Manager & Farmers’ Daughter Charlotte clearly has a talent for shop keeping, after needing to top-up her shopping at local convenience stores, Charlotte realised that Chegworth should stock a range of non market goods; think pulses, condiments & flour and you’ll get the idea of her broad range. An ethical one-stop shop!

The 17 different organic juices are the hero products of the store but customers are delighted to find farm made cakes, crumbles & soups, locally baked ‘flourish’ bread and dozens of wonderful and largely Kentish products. Taywell Ice Cream, Ripple Farm Salad, Hurdlebrook cream, plus eggs and chickens from Mayfield Farm are just a few of the goodies on offer. I bought honey from Chart Sutton and it’s nearly all gone already – It’s that good!

The shop also delivers daily to local postcodes and supplies many local business and offices. After your shopping (they are often open till 8pm – call the shop for details 020 7229 3016) why not visit the Notting hill arts club? All the cocktails are created with Chegworth Fruit and Veg. Green & Local & Tipsy – A perfect combination.
