Local food around Stroud: farm shops, a butcher and the Saturday market
Stroud offers more than one way to discover local food: a town-centre market, a farm shop on a working dairy farm, or a village butchery and deli. Choose around the day you have free and the food you need. These three starting points use official information checked on 11 September 2026.
Eastington Farm Shop: visit a working dairy farm
Eastington Farm Shop lists its address as Middlehall Farm, Bath Road, Eastington, Stonehouse, GL10 3AY. Its website describes a shop on a working dairy farm, with its own dairy products and goods from nearby producers, plus a coffee bar and homemade bakes. This is a village visit near Stroud rather than a town-centre shop. [1]
Check the current opening days before travelling; the page lists a Monday closure. For a particular product or an online order, contact the team on 01453 823 655 and confirm the range and fulfilment arrangements. Ask what the farm produces itself and what comes from other suppliers.
Frocester Fayre: butchery, deli and produce in Frocester
Frocester Fayre is at Church Farm, Peter’s Street, Frocester, Stonehouse, GL10 3TJ. The business lists a butchery, deli counter, fruit and vegetables, cakes and food boxes. Its website gives 01453 822054 for orders and enquiries. [2]
It also advertises delivery and attendance at Stroud Farmers’ Market. Ask whether you should collect a particular order at the farm shop or market, and confirm the date. For delivery, check your postcode, the minimum order and current charge directly. Do not assume the market stall carries everything available at the shop.
Stroud Farmers’ Market: a Saturday town-centre option
The organiser, Fresh-n-Local, lists Stroud Farmers’ Market at Cornhill Market Place and surrounding streets, GL5 2HH, on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. The official page links to trader information and current market news. Use the market address rather than the organiser’s separate office address when planning your visit. [3]
A market can let you compare several producers in one trip and ask each stallholder about their food. Check the organiser’s latest notices and confirm attendance with a particular trader if that is the reason for your journey. Seasonal ranges and individual stall attendance can vary.
Make a small shopping plan
For a Saturday in Stroud itself, start with the market. For a shop visit on another day, check the village farm-shop hours and whether the location fits an existing journey. Decide what you want for two or three meals before you go, leaving room for a seasonal ingredient that catches your eye.
Bring a suitable bag, ask about portions and storage, and check origin information for the products you choose. If you are collecting chilled food, plan the rest of the trip around getting it home using the seller’s advice. A manageable repeat visit is more useful than buying a large amount you cannot use.
Follow the producer’s current information
This is an editorial starting guide, not a complete directory or a ranking based on visits. Business details and the market schedule come from their own websites. Follow the official links below for updates and confirm any order directly with the seller.
These are editorial mentions, not confirmation that the businesses or market traders sell through Grown. Grown Locally is in early access, with ordering and payments not yet available.
