The Green Cow Opens!!!!

2009-11-14T09:42:00.000-08:00

My day tasting at new Farm Shop The Green Cow, in Bridgnorth, has been a good day, I have especially enjoyed getting the cows wondering round getting people tasting my Chutney & Pickled Onions, although the udders did freak me out abit!!!

The Green Cow has been opened by Gregg, Sally and Angie who after several months of deliberation and market research decided to embark on their quest to open a fine foods retail outlet and a cafe with home cooked foods! Their aim is to offer locally sourced (wherever possible) , high quality food at reasonable prices.
