Adjacent to the southern boundary of Birmingham, in the green belt of North Worcestershire, Crabtree Farm has existed on this site since 1642, it has always been a mixed farm and once was a bakery. The change to organic status happened in 1994 when organic growing began on the land, and the entire farm was registered organic with the Soil Association. The farm shop was then opened and Organic Roots was born. The shop is completely dedicated to the supply of organic produce, to the general public,catering and wholesale trades and is the only one of its kind in theWest Midlands.

The shop is mainly supplied by the farm, which grows a wide variety of vegetables and herbs. We also sell produce from other small organic farms to compliment our stock. We are always happy to source dietary and unusual items on your behalf. We also offer a delivery service for your convenience.

Having visited this shop in February 2008, I regret to advise the proprietor has had to close this business. Due to rising operational costs, the owner has had to foreclose 18 months prior to retirement. Whilst people were buying food in numbers, the business was struggling to sell sundry items, i.e. toiletries. I personally purchased two organic chickens from the shop and they were both excellent.
