Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, just off the Penryn River, you will find Bailey’s Country Store and Farm Shop. In 2006, the country store began by supplying animal feed and pet supplies to the people of Penryn, but it has now grown and adapted and introduced a farm shop providing locals and visitors with beautiful, tasty, local food.
An independent family run business, the shop is a welcoming, friendly place to do your shopping and the staff pride themselves on having time to chat and offer their own opinion on the goods that are for sale.
These include everything from scrumptious freshly baked breads, delicious locally grown seasonal fruit and veg, free range local meats and eggs, through to jams, chutneys and rapeseed oils, Cornish cheeses and local alcohol.
Online sales are also encouraged and the seasonal veg, salad or fruit boxes have proved very popular, helping to make things a little more straight forward when ordering online. The farm shop is lucky to have fantastic local growers who provide delicious seasonal fresh vegetables and fruit daily.
The provenance of the meat counter is also transparent with free-range chicken coming from Keith Wickett (chicken how it used to taste!), free-range pork, sausages and bacon from Bill and Sally of Primrose Herd and a weekly selection of seasonal game – venison, rabbit, pheasant and partridge from Duchy Game.
Some items on sale might be from a little further afield but the single malt whisky handcrafted on the edge of Dartmoor, just over the border in Devon, was too good not to stock.
With a huge selection of goods to make your mouth water, make sure you plan a trip to Baileys if you are in the Falmouth area…and if your visit happens to coincide with lunch time, then maybe Simon’s home reared free range pulled pork, with apple sauce and stuffing or coleslaw, on a delicious ciabatta roll will sort you out. It looks absolutely delicious!
