Acres Down Farm & Shop is a busy New Forest Commoners working farm, depasturing animals according to commoning rights of the Ancient Royal Forest. Keeping beef cattle, pigs, sheep and chickens, we are using traditional farming methods in harmony with nature to provide the unique “not on the high street” taste experience.

Our shop is also a culinary treasure trove; stocked full of many great local and regional products, that we have taken great delight in hunting out ourselves!!

Visitors to the shop can enjoy a relaxed environment as they browse the wide selection of goods on sale. To complement our meat, we also have vegetables, cheeses, chutneys, jams, marmalade, honey, bread flours, sauces & stocks, cakes biscuits and ice cream.

We are keen to support other small, independent producers like us.

We make delicious, freshly baked sourdough bread, using only the best ingredients available, organic where possible.

Our aim is to bake artisan bread with modern twist by experimenting with new and exciting flavours but at the same time keeping the traditional methods of baking sourdough.

FNK Pie House has been established since 2010 and has been selling at the Hampshire Farmers' Markets since then.

Our pies stand out from the rest as they are truly handmade, using stocks reduced from the bones and vegetables giving the pies a depth of flavour that our customers come back for again and again. As a Hampshire Farmers' Markets secondary producer we support the primary suppliers (farmers) by buying local meat and vegetables.  Our pies are sold in eco-friendly packaging that can be completely recycled. 

Our philosophy has always been that we don’t use preservatives, additives or flavourings and because so many people suffer from allergies they are also diary free and nut free. Our Vegan pies are soya, nut and most importantly Palm Oil Free.

Come and find, either Neal (Fraser Neal – the chef) or Hazel (the bottle washer), at the markets and we will talk you through our many flavours of savoury pies or you place an order by emailing us.

, jamHood Hampshire Honey has evolved around the excess produce given by the bees which Tracey Hood manages in her spare time as a hobby. Her passion for these wonderful insects and the produce they give has developed into a small business which ensures that she can continued to keep her bees healthy and productive.

All her 20 colonies are in Southern Hampshire mainly located in Chilworth, Bassett, North Baddesley and Shirley. The honey collected is individually extracted and not blended so that each jar of honey can be traced back to the location of the hive and when it was extracted. The beeswax obtained is used to make candles and cosmetics.

Local honey is the best and remember that every penny will go back into ensuring the bees are kept in well maintained equipment, given any necessary treatments against diseases and pests and food to ensure a healthy existence which in turn ensures that they continue to pollinate and keep the human race well fed.

A selection of home cooked ready made meals using only the best Hampshire produce, take home or eat hot at the markets.

We also cater for dinner, birthday parties and any event requiring exceptionally delicious and exquisitely prepared dishes.

Lyburn Farm makes a variety of different hand made cheeses, all of which are made from our own cows milk. Although they are pressed, these artisan cheeses are not that close to cheddar cheese. They are, in general, a softer and amore continental type of cheese, with the exception of Old Winchester and Old Smales.

Lyburn Cheese is a hard pressed cheese made with our own cows milk, on the northern edge of the New Forest. The herd comprises 170 pedigree Holstien Friesians, run on 200 acres, the remainder of the farm being down to organic vegetables.
