Farmborough is well served for its civic and retail facilities. The village lost its last shop in 2010, but a concerted effort to retain some form of outlet was gathered. After some six years of fund-raising a community shop was built behind the hall and opened on 30th June, 2018. Adults can become members by investing cash into the venture and have a say in its operations. The important point is that it is staffed by volunteers and benefits from lower running costs.
