Key points

  • Farm-gate, market, delivery and online orders have different access rules
  • A current market listing is useful evidence but does not prove a permanent farm shop
  • Choose the channel first, then confirm product availability and pickup details

Before you go or call

  • Confirm whether the address accepts visitors
  • Check order deadlines, pickup windows and payment
  • Bring a cooler for cold or frozen food
