Two of Suffolk's farm shops have been named among the best in Britain for the freshest local produce.
The Milk Shed at Fen Farm Dairy, in Bungay, is home to Baron Bigod, the UK's best cheese, as voted in 2023 and 2024 by Fine Food Digest's best brands survey.
The shop sells cheese, butter and yoghurt, made of the raw milk of the Monbeliarde herd of cows.
The shop sells pastries, sourdough bread and raw-milk coffees.

Alder Carr Farm, in Needham Market, was also named in the list compiled by The Times.
Joan and Nick Hardingham bought the farm in 1981 and now are neighbours to a former dairy farm housing small businesses, including a pottery and vintage shop.
In 1987 when there was a 'great raspberry glut', the pair gave ice-cream making a go and launched the ice-cream brand Alder Tree.
Now the farm shops sells produce such as, beans, celeriac and asparagus to gooseberries and Suffolk brie.
