When you're exploring the quieter eastern reaches of the Cotswolds, particularly around the Lambourn Downs, you might want to make a stop in Upper Lambourn.
N. J. Richards operates as a genuine local farm shop here, the kind of place where you can connect directly with the produce of the land.
Visitors come to pick up fresh, seasonal items straight from the farm or sourced very locally. You'll find a selection of meats, eggs, and vegetables depending on what's available at the time of your visit. It's an excellent opportunity to stock up on quality ingredients if you're self-catering, or simply to grab a taste of what the area produces. This isn't a large supermarket experience; it's about local sourcing and supporting the community.
The shop reflects the agricultural heritage that continues to thrive alongside the region's well-known horse racing industry. Upper Lambourn is a small village within the wider Lambourn area, which is famous for its racing stables. The shop sits as a peaceful stop, just a short drive from Wantage to the east or the more traditional Cotswold villages further west. If you're planning to eat well during your stay, it's definitely worth knowing about.
