Almost there!
Today has been a busy day at our shop. With the opening on Monday, we’ve had a lot to do. We’ve had our sign painted on the shop’s front - we think it looks great!
We’ve also had much of our stock delivered today as a lot of it is coming from farmers from Notting Hill Farmers’ Market and Borough Market. We’ll have more delivered tomorrow and on Monday morning. We’ve got some great looking teas from Ceylon1; eggs from Rookery Farm Eggs and cream, yoghurts and smoothies from Hurdlebrook and tomatoes from The Tomato Stall. The last three you may know from Notting Hill Farmers’ Market and Ceylon1 you may have seen at Borough. We’ve got some amazing crisps from Pipers Crisps (which you won’t find in the Supermarket!). We tried them today and we loved them - their Sea Salt and Somerset Cider Vinegar crisps are particularily good. Like us, Pipers support small producers, with the seasoning of each crisp variety coming from a named producer. We’ve also got some delicious looking cakes, salad leaves, vegetables, plants (that look great!) and flowers all ready to go.
We’ve been very pleased with the response from everyone we’ve talked to. We’ve had many people knock on the door while we’ve been in there to give us their support and an amazing number of people stopping to just have a look through the window. We look forward to seeing everyone at the shop soon!
