Smallford Farmshop

At Smallford Farmshop, we are proud to combine generations of horticultural expertise with a modern approach to retail and hospitality. Established on the site of a family-owned fresh produce nursery that has cultivated aubergines, peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes since 1977, our business has evolved into a multifaceted destination for quality food and dining. Our offerings include home-grown produce, handmade sauces, a deli stocked with British charcuterie, and a caf serving breakfast, lunch, and locally sourced beverages. We prioritise partnerships with passionate producers, focusing on local artisans whenever possible, to curate a diverse selection of products that reflect the best of Hertfordshire. The farm shops design blends traditional market-style selling with a contemporary rustic glasshouse setting, while our Hatch Caf provides a welcoming space for casual dining.

With a commitment to accessibility and quality, we strive to elevate small artisan producers across the region. Our team combines decades of agricultural experience with culinary expertise, ensuring every product and service meets exacting standards. Transparency and sustainability underpin our operations, from farm to fork, and our location on Hatfield Road positions us as a convenient hub for St Albans and surrounding communities. We hold ourselves to rigorous ethical standards, prioritising fresh, additive-free ingredients in all our offerings. Regularly updated news and seasonal promotions keep our customers informed, while our online shop extends our reach to those seeking premium food products. Our three decades of experience in horticulture and food retail form the foundation of our trusted reputation.
