Fresh Produce, Community Spirit, and a Regenerative Future — All in One Place

​

We’re proud to announce that the Market Garden and Shop at Lockerley Estate is now operated by Hampshire Market Garden CIC — a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to grow nutrient-rich food while restoring soil health and building community resilience.

 

Their roots run deep in the belief that healthy soil is the foundation of healthy food and healthy people. By using regenerative, organic farming methods, they care for the land, feed our local communities, and demonstrate that a better food system is not only possible — it’s already growing here in Hampshire.

Your Local Farm Shop, Reimagined

The veg shed shop at Lockerley Estate is no ordinary farm shop — it’s a celebration of sustainable, seasonal, and soil-first food.

​

You’ll find a wide selection of:

  • Fresh, chemical-free vegetables grown right here in our market garden

  • Fruit, dairy, and pantry staples from trusted local producers

  • Free range eggs, and local sourdough bread delivered fresh each week

  • Eco-friendly home essentials, delicious treats, and gifts
     

Whether you’re planning your weekly shop or just popping in for something fresh for dinner, our shop is fully stocked with everything you need — and some things you’ll be delighted to discover.

Regeneratively Grown Veg, Right From the Soil Beneath Your Feet

As the new stewards of the garden, everything the Hampshire Market Garden team grows is guided by their commitment to soil health.

​

That means:

  • No chemical inputs
     

  • Composting, cover cropping, and biodiversity at the core
     

  • A long-term focus on building fertility naturally, not depleting it for short-term yield
     

This isn’t just better for the planet — it’s better for flavour, nutrition, and community. Every carrot, cabbage, and courgette in the shop is grown with care, harvested by hand, and has never degraded the soil it was grown in.

A Not-for-Profit, For the People

 

Hampshire Market Garden CIC reinvests every penny back into its work — growing food, training new growers, running community workshops, and improving the land for future generations.

​

By shopping here, you’re not just buying local — you’re investing in a fairer food system that puts people and the planet before profit. That’s something we can all feel good about.
