The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker……
We are lucky to be surrounded by GREAT local food producers, farm shops and markets near to Glynn Barton Cottages. In fact we are positively bursting at the seams with organic gardens and small businesses that deliver their locally grown and produced fruit, veg, meats etc direct to your cottage door. Whilst we all know about the mainstream supermarkets within Bodmin, if this year has taught us anything it’s to support local as much as you can. Going local is not just about picking up your super fresh goodies, its about the experience too. You will also discover all sorts of activities whilst doing it….. Colwith Farm runs Distillery experiences such as their Distillery Tour, Gin Masterclass, or go all out on the Cocktail Masterclass!
We have put together a little list to help you on your Cornish Food Journey! It’s all available in our Digital Guestbook too
For all things Bakery….
Baker Tom
We are lucky that the lovely Baker Tom delivers direct to our door three times a week. He also has stores located in Wadebridge, St Austell and Penzance with a café in Falmouth and Penzance too.
Freddie & Max’s Top Tip: Pain au Chocolat’s please!
Mum’s Top Tip: Toasted sourdough with avocado
For your Fruit & Veggies
Colwith Farm Shop
15mins away in Lanlivery is the lovely family run Colwith Farm. Whilst they specialise in the growing of potatoes, you might have seen their Distillery featured on Rick Steins Cornwall recently. Their Farm shop is home to amazing leeks, cabbages, parnsips, carrots and potatoes (obviously!). They also stock dairy produce and meat too.
Freddie’s Top Tip: Seriously yummy Carrots!
Mum’s Top Tip: Parsnips for Curried Parsnip soup
FruutBox

Pip’s Top Tip: You can never have enough fruit (not in this house where the boys have worked out how to get to the top shelf in the fridge!)

Join the food revolution with their sustainably produced vegetables. You can opt for one of their beautiful looking veg boxes or hand pick what you need from a wide range of veg and everyday essentials.
Max’s Top Tip: Tomatoes galore!

A fab selection of locally produced goodies to choose from. Breads, quiches, sandwiches, cheeses, meats and more which are great for a picnic hamper at the beach or a walk on the moor. Check out their pizza takeaway too!
Markets & Deliveries
Bodmin Farmers Market
Located at Bodmin Nursery and Garden Centre, this usually occurs on the same Saturday in the month. It’s on hold at the moment due to Covid but once it is back up and running we will update everyone.
The Cornish Food Box Company
Just as you would order your Sainsburys or Tesco online deliveries, this operates much in the same way. Fill up your cart with everything you want, and they will deliver it to Glynn Barton Cottages for the morning of your arrival. This is direct from field to fridge!
