A farm museum which also runs courses in traditional country crafts and trades
It would be better to avoid the supermarkets if you can; they exacerbate climate change by transporting food from around the world and creating tonnes of unnecessary packaging. Adapt your diet to suit the seasons – strawberries don’t grow in British winters, and taste better in summer anyway!
