Village Shop

Ufford Produce & Provision Co The Specialist Suffolk Food Store

Based in the picturesque village of Lower Ufford in the Deben Valley close to the Suffolk Heritage Coast The Ufford Produce and Provision Company is a Village Store and Post Office with a difference. With the owners aim of reducing Food Miles it offers the Customer the experience of visiting a Farmers Market every day of the week. Based in a converted barn in Loudham Lane in Lower Ufford the company was set up in December 2006 after the previous Post Office closed after 162 years.

As well as fresh produce from surrounding farms all meat products are sourced from suppliers who raise and butcher their animals within a 30 mile radius of the shop. Traceability is the key and the company's owner has visited all his suppliers and is happy to talk to customers about the source of both the meat and produce in the shop. The shop also offers chef-prepared ready meals from award winning local chefs and hand made fishcakes.

Being less than 5 minutes from the A12 the shop offers a useful stocking up point for weekend visitors to Suffolk or for people on their way to a holiday cottage.
