Your Village Farm Shop
Welcome to Ashdon Farm Shop
Ashdon Farm Shop has brought a village shop back to Crown Hill, just behind the Rose & Crown. Opened in September 2026 by the family behind the Rose & Crown, with chefs Liam and Fran Grime, it brings together fine local produce and a kitchen team who make much of what is on the counter themselves.
Call in for fresh meat from Priors Hall, seasonal fruit and vegetables, quality dairy, fresh bread and everyday groceries – or stop for a coffee and something just baked. We are a ten-minute drive from Saffron Walden, with the North Essex countryside on the doorstep.
What You’ll Find
Fresh, Local & Made with Care
From the weekly shop to a last-minute supper, our shelves are stocked with produce from trusted local suppliers and small artisan makers – with new things arriving all the time.

Seasonal Fruit & Veg
Fresh fruit and vegetables that follow the seasons, piled high in baskets and priced on the chalkboard.

Meat, Cheese & Dairy
Fresh meat from Priors Hall, alongside cheese, eggs and quality dairy goods.

Bread & Bakes
Crusty loaves, pastries and sweet treats – the things worth getting here early for.

Pantry & Larder
Oils, preserves, chutneys, pasta and artisan groceries to fill the cupboards.

Coffee & Takeaway
Hot and cold drinks and fresh sandwiches – ideal for the commute, the school run or a break from the desk.

Silk Flowers & Gifts
Beautiful silk flowers, homeware and unique gifts, chosen to make someone’s day.

- Handmade quiches and savoury pies
- Scotch eggs and sausage rolls
- Fresh sandwiches made to take away
- Seasonal specials from the kitchen team

Our Story
Bringing a Village Shop Back to Ashdon
The shop was designed as a community space first – somewhere for commuters, parents on the school run and home workers to pick up what they need without leaving the village. What we stock is shaped by you: feedback from villagers, visitors and diners at the Rose & Crown helps decide what goes on the shelves.
The building is as sustainable as it is striking, with traditional Essex black timber cladding and a full array of solar panels to power the shop – heritage looks with a modern conscience.
- Field to forkLocal suppliers and short journeys from farm to counter.
- Chef-led kitchenDeli favourites handmade on site by our own team.
- Solar poweredA full array of solar panels helps run the shop.
- Community firstShelves shaped by what the village asks for.
