A new farm shop has opened at a popular family attraction near Bristol.
Recent visitors to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm near Wraxall will no doubt have popped into the new shop that has launched outside the main entrance to the animal park.
The Noah’s Ark Farm Shop aims to offer top-quality local produce to both local residents and people visiting the zoo from far and wide.
Whether people are after some grub to take into the zoo and eat there to keep them topped up or to take home for dinner, the new shop "stocks something for everyone" said a spokesperson.
Managing director of Noah's Ark Farm Shop Larry Bush said: "Our farm shop was dreamt up during lockdown and our site team have worked so hard to get this up and running.
"We are excited to work with local businesses and to see how this new venture goes."
