Hi There!

Thank you so much for continuing to shop with us at Stroudco. We really appreciate the support for our local supply chains by local people. Not only does this help our producers earn a living but it assists the welfare of the planet and in particular our local patch by reducing waste, supporting systems that look after the soil, connecting our local Stroud economy and redistributing any surplus so that as much as possible of everything grown locally is used and/or consumed. 

What Would You Like To Be Available On Our Online Shopfront?

Is there something you regularly buy that isn’t in our listings? Get in touch and let us know what you want or need and we will look into the possibility of being able to provide it locally and/sustainably for you via our shopfront.

For example if you have any baking fancies, like something special for a celebration or gathering, or maybe a new bake/recipe/flavour craving, then our wonderful baker The Welsh Cake Lady is happy to have a go at whipping up your requests through us at Stroudco.
