The Green Shop came into being as we found that there was just too little which is 'green' available in our beautiful country. The intention of TGS was to source and offer products which were eco-friendly in one way or another. It's no small task as these types of products are not as common as you would think.

Small business owners and entrepreneurs showcasing their wares at The Marketplace have been hand-picked for the exceptional quality of produce they offer. Over time and in search of a healthier lifestyle we have become more demanding of local food harvests free of chemicals and preservatives, and more supportive of whole food grown in an environmentally responsible manner. We have welcomed the choice to buy sustainable fish and to support the small farmer who offers hormone-free, free-range meat and dairy. We have always admired the talents of a good craftsman and the creativity of a gifted artist. We continue to afford time to celebrating relationships and cultural diversity, and we have always, always loved music!

The Farm and Garden National Trust provides free and/or subsidised services, training, networking and resources to community-based projects for poor and needy persons, including but not limited to empowerment projects involving “micro-farming” (organic and bio-dynamic gardening and small farming), in order to improve quality of life and raise them out of poverty.
