Five generations of farmers have fed the nation from Colwith Farm, nestled in the stunning scenery between near Lostwithiel on mid Cornwall’s rolling hills.
The loamy soil is perfect for growing the potatoes which have become Colwith Farm’s speciality, supplying fish and chip shops, bakeries and producers, crisping suppliers, potato merchants and local farm shops, as well as the now famous Colwith Farm Distillery for its prize-winning vodka and gin production.
The small but well-stocked farm shop at the entrance to the yard began life as an honesty box but, during the 2020 pandemic, demand for locally supplied food exploded and Colwith Farm responded with a ‘proper’ shop, manned seven days a week, and offering a constantly evolving choice of provisions.
Of course, potatoes are always available in bags of different sizes and washed and ready to use but there is also bread, cakes, healthy snacks, drinks, fruit and veg, eggs and meat from local producers, milk and store cupboard essentials as well as a wonderful selection of alcohol and nibbles.
The lovely team at Colwith Farm live by the motto “support local” showcasing the best that the region offers. Do pop in if you’re driving down the A390 and see which goodies take your fancy. I think I know what’s top of my list!
