our story
Started on maternity leave. Still chosen by parents, ten years on.
Acorn & Pip began with one simple idea: a shop full of the things we'd actually want for our own children. Ten years later we've two shops in the Colne Valley, a neighbourhood eatery and a community CIC, and every product is still picked by people who use it at home.
