Michael Hart & Son operates as a family-run farm shop in Stratton, just a short drive or walk from Cirencester, and it's where you can see what actually sustains the Cotswolds.
The shop prioritizes quality, stocking vegetables and fruit grown on their own land alongside carefully selected items from neighbouring farms and local artisans. You'll find seasonal produce, quality meats, freshly baked bread, dairy products, local cheeses, homemade preserves, and various artisan goods filling the shelves. It's easy to either gather ingredients for a proper meal or assemble the makings of a good picnic.
Shopping here means your money reaches local growers directly, and you taste what the region genuinely produces rather than goods shipped in from elsewhere. The Stratton location works well if you're based in Cirencester, which sits at the heart of the Cotswolds with its notable Roman heritage and active market town character. It's convenient enough to visit while exploring the area, whether you want to stock your kitchen or grab something worthwhile to eat during your time here. Either way, you're getting a proper sense of the local landscape and supporting the people who work the land around you.
