Disabled Traveller enjoys browsing at Snitterfields farm.
If you have youngsters with you, then this is an ideal visit, with lots for them to do, a very nice play area, and lots of farm animals to see as you walk around the farm. There is a very nice farm shop to buy fresh produce from, and it’s simply called The Farm, set in beautiful country side around Snitterfield, close to Stratford apon Avon.
As you drive in (photo 1) along the driveway you pass the pig farm, very clean and well looked after, no smells here, then the garden area, which you can stroll through.
The car park is large and laid with hardcore pressed chippings, (photo 2) and easy to push a wheelchair along. The two disabled bays are very close to shop entrance (photo 3) which is all on the level, with automatic sliding doors (photo 4).
Just inside the door you will find the fruit and veg section (photo 5) again on the level, with stone or concrete floors, with plenty of room to move about. There is a reasonable selection of both fruit and veg, and good quality (photo 6).
This leads you now to the fresh bread and cakes section, with an excellent choice, but although it’s not baked on the premises it seems it’s delivered fresh every day.
Next to this is the wine department (photo 8) As you move around the shop you will find plenty of space (photo 9) and it’s very easy to take your wheelchair, or even a large power chair. You then come to the butchers, (photo 10) with lovely looking fresh meats on display, then the pies section (photo 11) and on to the cheese counter (photo 12) which has a really nice selection, but it’s brought in from local manufacturers and pre-packed, but very good cheeses.
The large cafe is next, (photo 13) with an outdoor seating area as well, close to activities for the young to enjoy, and the cafe has lots of room to move around in, (photo 14) with very wide spaces, it looks inviting, spotlessly clean, and ideal spot to enjoy your coffee and cakes.
Coming out and back into the shop, you arrive at the world food section, (photo 15) where you buy your chutneys and sauces, not a great choice, but again, plenty of room to move. Just off that it a little area where you can buy crockery and bits and pieces, (photo 16) it’s just a fascinating place to look around, ( but it is a bit tight for wheelchairs, so may need care here. ) but you will also find a choice of plants which
are well looked after. The check out is then by exit door (photo 17) plenty of room again.
However, we must say sorry to you, because we forgot to check out toilet facilities , we know they are there, but as we did not need to use them, we forgot, but if the rest of the farm is anything to judge by, then we feel the toilet would be well looked after for you.
Our final thoughts
We have enjoyed our visits each time we have come here, it’s always clean and tidy, never cluttered, so you can take your power chair here with no worries, the farm is doing its best to help disabled, and we are pleased to recommend a visit here for you. The produce is always good with a fair selection, we personally buy the fresh crusty bread and a few cheeses to enjoy with it.
Outside there is a decent well looked after play area for children, plenty to amuse them, and there are farm animals to take them, ( or yourself, ) to see as well.
An ideal Hour or so visit, so if touring around Stratford apon Avon, or Warwick area, why not pop in, and you will enjoy the countryside views anyway, this area is a delight for driving around. Do enjoy our recommended Farm visit.
