Littlemoors is the home of The Dorset Blueberry Company, the UK's premier producer of fresh blueberries, blueberry plants and blueberry goodies such as blueberry pies, cookies and jam. It doesnt stop there though. This farm shop is making its mark by supplying lots of other local and English food aswell. It has a new butchery, using local meat, supplies very fresh vegetables, as locally produced as possible, has a bakery on site and has all the things you'd expect from a full scale food shop with a local agenda.
There is also a coffee shop on site which serves freshly made cakes, light and simple lunches and great coffee.
Open every day except Monday.
Excellent farm shop, had fantastic blueberry bonanza weekend this weekend 26th/27th July, tastings, demos, cultivation techniques, goody bags, plantation tour. Friendly bunch and wide range of stock; you can get your whole dinner and the pud at their shop, something you can't do everywhere, which can be irritating and invlove you in another trip somewhere, which kind of defeats the object. Cranborne Estate meat, Isle of Wight Garlic, Barford Ice Cream, local cheeses, fresh veggies, the list goes on. Coffee shop has short (not a criticism)but tasty homecooked menu, proper jacket pots, not microwaved, generously served with choice of toppings, homemade cakes, cream teas and specials. Lovely log burner in the winter, a real treat to do your shopping here. Look out for special events too.
Excellent farm shop cum deli, selling all manner of blueberry products from the farm, mostly handmade, if not all - along with Olives et al, Barford ice cream, Cranborne meats, and other Dorset/Devon/Cornwall products. The recently opened cafe serves the loveliest Dorset Blueberry cream teas, along with other lunches & treats. All the veg and produce is fresh & tasty, the staff are pleasant and helpful - the road to the shop is a bit bumpy, but worth it!
