started trading on July 17th after a successful six months fund raising to purchase, refurbish and restock the shop. We are open seven days a week and stock a wide range of local produce which is making an important contribution to our turnover. Come and visit this brand new local enterprise, have a cup of coffee and take home something locally grown for tea. Then tell your friends about the new shop you have found which makes shopping a real pleasure.
