Cotesbach Organic and Gluten Free Shop

We are open 9:30am to 5:00 pm Monday to Saturday, with late night shopping Thursday 7:00pm. Closed on Sunday.

Our shop is in a lovely old converted barn in the Leicestershire village of Cotesbach. Out latest 2009 Soil Association inspection concluded :

”A well run shop offering a wide range of products specialising in “free from” and gluten free products. This is a good example of combining the availability of local food with more specialised food requirements of the community. The whole site was well presented, clean and well organised. SHOP - Excellent display of both organic and non organic products including gluten and dairy free products.”

Come and see all the items available by Mail Order, plus lots of chilled and frozen foods, including Organic fish and meat (some locally produced), and a very good selection of cheese including goat and sheep cheese. Dairy free yogurts and cheeses are also very popular.

We take pride in our fresh organic fruit and vegetables – we endeavour to keep as full a range as possible, favouring local and UK grown, but still providing a good selection in the winter. We usually have produce grown here in the Organic Kitchen Garden, especially in the summer months. We don’t have air-freighted veg.

You will find the complete range of Ecover, including refills, and we refill the Faith in Nature range of shampoos, conditioners, hand soaps & shower gel and have recently added the Ecoleaf range.

Of particular interest is :

Delicious icecream from Green and Blacks, Booja Booja ( dairy free) and Roskillys
Organic meat with an on-site butcher
Local organic milk and cream by Lubcloud Dairy
Pauls Bread locally produced

We have a very full range of Gluten free food including frozen savoury pastries, gluten free sausages and suet. You may be surprised at how much is available.

History - Our shop opened 19 November 2003, after a years conversion. The building work was done by Tom Newton and all the decorating, shop fitting etc by us.

The building started life in the early 1800's as a stable block as part of the Cotesbach Estate and had not been used since the late 1950's. The building still retains many of its original features, including a fine beamed ceiling.
