<p>Anyone who&#8217;s anyone who lives around Cheshire&#8217;s Golden Triangle has popped into this rambling farm shop in Morley Green. They come to gather up colourful fruit and veg, gorgeous slithers of salmon smoked on site and a whole hoard of goodies from local producers. Our tip? Go early and head straight to the back where the bakers slide just-baked foccacia on to the shop&#8217;s bread racks, pricked in rosemary and doused in fruity olive oil. A proper tear and share sort of dish with a few dips when your guests are humming about the kitchen. </p>

<p>In the summer, droves of families arrive at this farm on the fringes of Warrington to pluck fruit and buy jars of honey made from the farm&#8217;s very own bees. But over Christmas the store takes on a whole new aesthetic, jazzing up its shelves with twinkly lights and bringing its local provender to the masses who know they&#8217;re onto a very good thing, every time they step through the door. Still have pressies to buy? The team will whip you up a hamper too or there are gift vouchers for any foodie friends of yours.</p>

<p>The so-called Harrods of farm shops is never going to let you down when it comes to adding extra frills to your Christmas dinner. Whether you head to its original outpost in Little Budworth or to one of its offshoots across the county, the Hollies has rightfully gained a reputation for sourcing top-notch veg, meat and trimmings &#8211; even if you do come out wondering how you spent £80 when you popped in for a few beautifully grown carrots. </p>

<p>Go to this gorgeous farm shop to stock up on everything you need between now and New Year on a sprawling farm estate stretching for 400 acres.

But a spruced-up space dishing up restaurant-worthy dishes presented with real panache and made from gorgeous local ingredients.

<p>Ok so not officially a farm shop, but a bijou high street store in Wilmslow, packed to the rafters with local craft beers, gins made down the road, and a vast counter of cheese. Steering the entire operation is Andy Tyson, a cheese professional (yep, there is such a thing) who hunts down and curates his wonderfully whiffy collection of wedges sourced from across the UK. Pop in and you can graze on a few deli-style bites, washed down with a beer or three whilst deciding what you&#8217;re going to buy. </p>
