I've been visiting Jimmy's Farm almost since he started. That alone must say that the place isn't bad. Well, it isn't... but it's not great either.

The butchery seems to turn over a lot of staff and the quality of the meat/produce varies. For example, their Suffolk Beer Sausages used to be my favourite by a country mile. Recently the last couple of batches I've bought have been disappointingly poor. Considering the price (the whole range of products in the Jimmy's farm Shop are expensive), it's very disappointing to have such a change in quality.

The range of products in the shop seems to change quite frequently as well (or it could be down to low stock levels?). One week you may find something great (like McLarens Pure and Natural Carrot Cake, yum!) but then not see it again for a couple of months (or not at all).

The main draw for us is the Farmers Market, but possibly not for long. A couple of years ago it was a busy well attended market with a good selection of producers. I tend to think of it as a "deli" market as there is rarely more than one type of producer. The farm then chose to charge £1 a car for parking (to cover parking attendant costs apparently) and that resulted in an immediate drop in customers and producers. This decision has recently been rescinded but the number of producers and customers still remains very low. If it wasn't for the excellent St Peters Ale stall I doubt I'd make the trip. There is an excellent Deli food hall about 10 minutes away from the farm which is more likely to get my business.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love Jimmy's farm to succeed. I like where Jimmy is coming from and the local area lacks decent farmers markets. The staff are friendly and whilst Jimmy himself is rarely seen Michaela, his fiancée, is always happy to help with a smile.

Good points: Good idea and they're trying hard and could do with more local support.

Bad points: Expensive, quality varies, Farmers Market a shadow of it's former self.

Overall I'd rate Jimmy's Farm as Average. Don't get blinded by the "celebrity" label, it's an okay supplier but needs to pick up it's game a bit to become a "must visit" destination.

These people are so hard working and pleasant. You have to admire Jimmy who, despite being a 'Sleb" farmer, works really hard and produces ethical food in an interesting and educational way, with real openness.

The people you see on the TV are real. They work there every day and Jimmy is sometimes there and is as approachable as you would imagine.

Obviously, the sausages are brilliant! A little on the pricey side - but mouthwateringly good. (But there are many other lovely things in the shop and they have a farmer's market every month that is welll worth visiting).

Despite the fact that they can't spell the word "Combined" in the profile above, I still love them and would recommend them to everyone!

Visited recently and had a great day. picked up some lovely easter gifts from the shop and some meat which has proved to be excellent. A great day out.

Best tasting pork and beef I've ever tasted and a farm shop full of fantastic food to consume plus an amazing farm experience for the whole family to enjoy plus much more! You have to go and see it for yourself. Sylvia , Heather and family
