our community

We are all about supporting our local community, reducing waste and championing other small businesses. We support local charities and projects close to our hearts, including helping young adults from Sparsholt College to get invaluable experience working outside.

    The Trust was set up in memory of Cameron. He loved nature. He photographed it, blogged about it, immersed himself in it. Birdwatching was a major part of his life. The Trust creates and sponsors outdoor events for young people from every background so they might discover that same passion for all things wild and natural. We sell gorgeous cards in aid of the Trust and support by making sure any spare change goes into their box!

    Sparsholt College, Hampshire

    Every other Tuesday a group of young adults from Sparsholt College’s Foundation department come to West Lea Farm Shop to help clear overgrown areas behind the shop. They are getting valuable experience of what it is like to work outdoors and enjoying themselves at the same time.

  • Modern single-story house with a metal roof, large glass sliding doors, and a wooden exterior, surrounded by a well-maintained lawn under a blue sky.

    Avington park Farm Cottages

    These gorgeous cottages can be rented separately or together. Whenever they are rented for a weekend or longer, you will be supplied by us with a cake made by Michelle and some local milk. If you do stay, we hope you will come and see us in the shop!

    Little Piggies

    None of our fruit or veg goes to waste thanks to these incredibly hungry refuse collectors, who live nearby in Bramdean! We collect up all our wasted/spoiled fruit and veg and it is given to these pigs on a daily basis and so none is thrown away.
