Alweston Post Office and Stores

An unusual corner shop selling masses of local produce.
Alveston Post Office and Stores won the Good Service Award on regional TV's 'Bite Back' programme. They stock a huge range of items from more than 50 small local producers.
This includes meat from four different butchers, fruit and veg from a farm four miles away, olives from a local supplier, free-range eggs, bread and even a new range of honey from the owner's wood.
It also stocks some locally made jewellery and organic cotton bags. There's a strong community ethos and locals with surplus produce are encouraged to sell in-store and then donate the shop's portion of the profits to charity.
