Jolly Nice provides a key platform for locally sourced produce. Supporting farmers, growers, artisans, and micro businesses that share our vision for a brighter future of food resilience, community, and economy.
Just 2.8 miles from Jolly Nice, Patrick Keenan in Cherington raises Gloucester Old Spot and Berkshire pigs with the highest welfare standards. His pigs roam freely, living naturally and happily — because happy pigs are healthy pigs. The result is outstanding quality pork, which we’re proud to offer in our butchery as sausages and a variety of cuts.
Luke, from Stroud-based social enterprise Zerodig, grows nutrient-rich, seasonal vegetables using regenerative methods that work with nature, not against it. By planting in compost above ground and leaving the soil undisturbed, Zerodig nurtures vital soil life, rebuilds soil health, and even captures CO₂ — benefits that spread beyond their fields into the surrounding land. The result is veg that’s not only full of flavour, but also part of a truly sustainable, local food system.
Our Gloucestershire honey is true liquid gold. The Dickenson family began beekeeping in the 1950s in the village of Bisley, just 5 miles from Jolly Nice, and today, second-generation beekeeper Keith continues the tradition. With 350 hives spread from the Cotswold Hills to the Berkeley Vale, Keith carefully harvests and bottles the finest summer honey for us — rich, golden, and sold in classic Kilner jars all year round.
Fred Bonestroo farms 25 acres at Close Farm in Tetbury, growing a wide variety of vegetables and heritage apples using stock-free, vegan-organic methods. By building fertility naturally with woodchip, crop rotation, and clover leys, he produces healthy, sustainable crops. We’re proud to source fresh, local veg directly from Fred, whose experience and passion for growing ensures both quality and care in every harvest.
Jonathan from Standish Park Farm, on the edge of the Cotswolds overlooking the Berkeley Vale, supplies us with his award-winning Single and Double Gloucester cheeses. His rare-breed Old Gloucester cows graze on natural pastures and are fed only farm-grown feed, producing rich milk that makes exceptional cheese we’re proud to offer in our shop.
Rowie Meers runs Purton House Organics in Wiltshire, where small-scale mixed farming brings animals, crops, and wildlife together in natural harmony. On 150 acres, she grows organic vegetables year-round, produces free-range eggs from 800 hens, and raises native breed pigs and Sussex cattle. With over 20 years of organic experience and award-winning produce, Rowie’s dedication to sustainability and ethical farming ensures we can offer fresh, local, and truly seasonal food.
We're always looking to support local producers and micro businesses whose produce is of exceptional quality, so if you think your produce could hold its own next to winners of 3 Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards and others, then we'd love to hear from you.
