A local shop full of local produce

Located in Harlow, on the border of Essex and Hertfordshire, the Hamper Hub is the heart of Stort Valley Gifting. It’s where we design, pack, and showcase our range of thoughtfully curated gifts and tasty delights – and it’s open for you to explore, sample and enjoy.

We’re not quite a farm shop, but we do stock an ever-changing selection of food and drink from some of the best small-batch producers across Essex and Hertfordshire. From award winning chutneys and hand poured chocolate bars to craft spirits and locally brewed beer, our shelves are full of flavour and proudly local.

The Hamper Hub is also home to our offices, showroom, private events space, and licensed bar and tasting rooms – all our services under one roof.

We offer free parking directly outside for customers in addition to being well connected by public transport. Harlow Mill mainline station is just a 20-minute walk away, with direct trains from London Liverpool Street, Bishop’s Stortford and Stansted Airport. For a more frequent service, Harlow Town station is 28 minutes’ walk, with taxis available.

Whether you're dropping in for gifting inspiration or joining us for a tasting event, we’d love to welcome you and share our passion for everything local.

The Local Producers we work with

Our goal is to champion the incredible range of produce our region has to offer. At Stort Valley Gifting, we work with a handpicked selection of independent producers from across Hertfordshire and Essex – each chosen for their quality, and commitment to producing the best available products.

From sparkling wine and craft beer to small-batch jams, oils, cereals and even artisan pasta grown, milled and produced just a few miles from our Essex HQ, our hampers are filled with the best local flavours we can source. Every item is chosen with care, supporting talented and award winner makers and celebrating the diversity and quality of our local food and drink offerings.

You’ll find many of these exceptional products in our Essex and Hertfordshire Hampers, each one carefully designed to showcase the unique tastes of our region.

We constantly add new and exciting producers to our range. Scroll down to meet a few of the brilliant producers we’re proud to work with.
