Once upon a time, when you went to the Cotswolds, the treat for Saturday morning was antiquing in the small towns of Broadway and Stow-on-the-Wold. Nowadays, the mecca is the original Daylesford Organic near the village of Moreton-in-Marsh.
Carole Bamford opened it 20 years ago. Daylesford was not the first of its kind—Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire, opened the Chatsworth Farm shop in the 70s—but it was the best. Healthy food, vegetables polished like jewels, exquisite housewares, luxurious beauty products, fabulous flowers, and even fashion.
