Sunnyfields is a family business owned and run by Ian and Louise Nelson. Started in 1987 it is one of the longest established organic businesses in the UK. It is committed to organic, local production and operating its business in the most environmentally sensitive way possible. Sunnyfields has been certified organic by the Soil Association since 1987 as both a producer and processor. Ian, Louise and staff have a vast knowledge of organic production and all the products they produce and sell.
Organic food and farming has in the early twenty first century started to move towards mass market penetration, this is already upsetting the balance of organic production. Organic farming is about a farming system and is not about grabbing a plastic bag of organic carrots as you hurtle around your local big name supermarket. It is about freshness, buying local, food miles, minimal packaging, people, standards, ethics and product range. Sunnyfields started for these reasons and will continue to follow them - we are a real organic trading company with food, farming and customer service at its heart.
I paid my first visit to Sunnyfields a few weeks back and only have good things to say. Not only is the farm shop well stocked with top quality fresh and organic products, but every Saturday there is a great Farmers market. If you live in the surrounding area, then get down to Sunnyfields for the market. I bought some brilliant New Forest sausages, a steak, chocolate and chilli pie (sounds weird, but was one of the best pies I've ever tasted) and some superb fresh veg, all from local sources. Easily the sort of place you could do your weekly shop to cut down on your food miles and to support local businesses.
