A New Forest Farm Shop Championing Local Produce

Hockey’s Farm Shop proudly supports farmers, growers and artisan producers from across the New Forest and surrounding Hampshire countryside. The shelves are stocked with a wide and ever-changing selection of local produce, chosen for its quality, flavour and traceability.

Customers will find artisan cheeses, freshly baked bread and cakes, locally made jams and chutneys, seasonal fruit and vegetables, free-range eggs, honey, oils, condiments and a thoughtfully selected range of New Forest and Hampshire food and drink. Many products are made just a short distance from the farm, helping to keep food miles low while supporting independent rural businesses.

Every product sold reflects a commitment to sustainability, responsible sourcing and genuine local provenance – values that are central to everything Hockey’s Farm Shop does.

Traditional Butchery at the Heart of the Farm Shop

The on-site butchery is a cornerstone of Hockey’s Farm Shop and a key reason it is regarded as one of the leading farm shops with butchers in the New Forest. The meat sold is either reared on the farm or sourced from trusted local farmers who share the same high standards of animal welfare and responsible farming.

From everyday cuts to seasonal joints and New Forest specialities, the butcher counter showcases British meat prepared using traditional skills. The experienced butchery team are always on hand to offer knowledgeable advice, cooking tips and recommendations, ensuring customers leave with exactly what they need.

The Vinery – Gifts, Local Makers & Thoughtful Finds

Alongside the farm shop sits The Vinery, a dedicated gift and lifestyle space that complements the food offering perfectly. The Vinery showcases a carefully curated collection of locally made gifts, homewares, candles, artwork and seasonal pieces, many created by independent New Forest and Hampshire makers.

Ideal for thoughtful gifts or a treat for yourself, The Vinery reflects the same ethos as the farm shop – supporting local creativity, craftsmanship and small businesses while offering something a little different to the high street.
