During the summer months I discovered the farm shop attached to Chepstow garden centre. I was suitably impressed by the whole presentation and the range of locally produced food stuffs. I decided to go again this week, to see what they had on offer in the way of Christmas fayre.
We're all constantly reminded of the benefits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables - not only easy on the finances but good for the environment too. So, if you are looking to cut your carbon footprint and want something different in you weekly shopping trolley, why not pay them a visit.
With the festive season in mind, this is a great place to stock up on all those Christmas day treats. They also stock a good range of Christmas goods such as wreaths, for those of us that don't live in the country and don't make our own, mistletoe, holly and logs. Well worth a visit. They are not cheap, but if it is something different you are looking for I would highly recommend this Farm shop.
The range of chocolates are to die for. They are set out under glass and you can select them individually and they will box them for you. They have a huge selection from truffles to sugar mice for those all important stocking fillers. These people have really made an effort, something the local shops fall down on. So, for your locally produced Christmas it really is worth putting business their way if we are to retain this kind of retail outlet.

Mmmm ... do you HAVE to mention chocolates ? And sugar mice ??
(Do they still have pink ones, with string tails, like 60 years ago ?!)
