Featured Farm Shop – West Yorkshire
Rhubarb Triangle Farm Shop

​This curiously-named farm shop comes with a wonderful story of evolution, as well as a fabulous selection of delicious local produce.
​The Dobson family have been farming in Carlton since 1815 and in the early years the farm had livestock as well as crops. The farm served the local community with vegetables for over five generations and, as the farm grew in size, it supplied the local markets, the national markets and then the supermarkets. 
The buildings, which now form the farm shop, were used to house the cows.
​The animals were housed on the ground floor and the straw and hay stored above. John Edward Dobson forced some of the first ever Yorkshire rhubarb in the hay loft above the cows, using the rising heat from the cows to force the rhubarb and bring it to market early.
Fast-forward a couple of hundred years and the buildings were no longer fit for agricultural use so Simon Dobson and his management team felt it was quite fitting that they should be refurbished and used to sell meats and dairy products and, as they played such a major part in the history of Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb, they decided to call it The Rhubarb Triangle Farm Shop.
They take pride in offering great Yorkshire produce. Their suppliers are carefully selected so that they only stock goods they can recommend. Their deli is filled with fresh, locally produced goodies keeping food miles to a real minimum and helping to fulfil their mission statement…
‘Our aim is your satifaction’
They stock free-range eggs from their own hens, fresh breads from Boulby’s of Horbury, cheeses from The Yorkshire Dales Cheese Company, flapjacks and tiffin from Lottie Shaw’s of Halifax, frozen seafood from Chapman’s at Grimsby, Stickey’s local honey produced from bees on their own land and, of course, a huge choice of meat.
Their onsite butchery features fantastic cuts as well as their increasingly popular homemade kebabs, sausages and burgers. Beef is from their own farm and also from Hartshead Moor, and is hung and matured for a minimum of 21 days. Their lamb is from the rolling hills of Yorkshire too. Pork and chicken is also local.
​So it certainly isn’t just about the rhubarb….

Bell’s Farm Shop

​Here’s a farm shop that has evolved from the land that stocks it. Originally a Pick Your Own farm founded by the Bell family over 50 years ago, the shop was added so that customers could choose whether they “pick their own” or pop into the shop and buy produce already harvested.

​The 40 acre farm produces a fabulous array of different fruit and vegetables and you can still get your hands dirty and PYO. Their seasonal offerings look mouth-wateringly delicious from corn on the cob and cauliflowers to pears, apples and plums.
​The shop itself, thriving under the Colwill family who acquired the farm in 1987, is also home to Little Black Pig butchery with a meat counter filled to bursting with succulent fillets and chops.
​They are proud to champion local producers and stock wine, beer, cider, spirits, cheese, cream, milk, bread, jams, chutneys, cakes, biscuits and ice cream. Phew! That’s a good list.
​Continuing its evolution, a pop up café has recently sprung up in a large marquee next to the farm shop where you can take the weight off your feet after your picking or shopping adventures and enjoy a warm coffee and a slice of something tempting.

Radmore Farm Shop

Who doesn’t like a good boy meets girl story?
​ And here, the happy ending is Radmore Farm Shop…
When Ben (a self-confessed city boy) met Vicky (a Northamptonshire farm girl) they shared a vision – to bring the best of the farm into the city and this vision is now their reality with a bricks and mortar farm shop in the heart of Cambridge. Alongside all the hard work, they have three small children and a shop filled with smiles.
Their mission is to source the best possible food from neighbouring farms and small companies who share their passion for quality and sustainability and to offer convenient, friendly service with an “old-fashioned” feel whether that be to the customers popping into the shop or to those having their produce delivered to their home.
Also passionate about zero-waste, they have introduced a booming refill service where customers can bring in their own containers and fill up with an impressive list of household essentials:
Breakfast cereals, chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, herbs and spices, rice and grains, household cleaning products and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and soap).
Amazingly, Vicky still finds time to bake the cakes, pies and quiches that you will find in the bakery section of the shop and to write a blog where she shares tried and tested recipes from her own family kitchen. If only she could bottle her energy and put it in the refill section – I’d be there with a big drum to fill!

​Monday to Friday : 9.00am – 6.45pm

Featured Farm Shop – Kent
Flint and Oak

​Located at the gateway to the “garden of England”, it might not be surprising to learn that the farm shop known as Flint & Oak has access to a plethora of locally sourced fruit and vegetables which they select from the market each morning. However, not everyone would know that they personally taste all of their products and, if they don’t taste great, they simply don’t stock them!
​They want their customers to know that they can personally vouch for what’s on their shelves and the knowledge, expertise and passion of all who work there probably contributed greatly to Flint & Oak being awarded “Kent Local Food Retailer of the Year 2020”.
feedback from a very happy customer
​Respecting the seasons is high on their list of priorities so there is always a changing array of produce in the shop and because it is locally sourced, you won’t see plastic wrapping swaddling the vegetables.
​It all started with bunches of asparagus sold from a small market stall at the edge of the current site but, as local demand grew, Flint & Oak evolved into the shop and deli that it is today, housed in the old milking parlour on the Squerryes Estate.
​There is even a small café with its own garden overlooking the vineyard which – an idyllic place to sit on a sunny day.
​The list of goodies to tempt you in the farm shop is long and luscious.
​Freshly baked bread and pastries, including a note-worthy marmite sausage roll which is handcrafted using free-range pork and puff pastry.
​The cheese counter is stuffed to bursting with over 50 English cheeses made from ewe, goat or cow’s milk, some of them oozing deliciously across the platter, and as members of the “Academy of Cheese” the knowledgeable staff know what they’re talking about.
​Add to that the Kent craft beers (made right next door to the shop, continuing Westerham’s 400-year-old brewing heritage), dessert wines and port, an array of pickles and chutneys, jams and marmalades, oils and preserves and you will find it hard not to be impressed.
There’s even been a late addition of a coffee machine, in the shop itself, if the bean is your Holy Grail!

Holcombe Farm Shop & Kitchen

30 minutes from Bath, between Radstock and Shepton Mallet, lies the picturesque village of Holcombe. Beside the River Mells, you’ll find The old Duke of Cumberland pub which has recently metamorphosed into a fabulous little farm shop and kitchen.
​The farm shop itself is small but beautifully formed and the shelves and fridges are jam-packed with fresh, local produce and everyday essentials – fresh bread, local milk (bring your own bottle!) fruit and veg, a delicious selection of cheese and chutneys not to mention the fully stocked butcher’s counter or the counter full of homemade cakes and pastries and, if there’s room in your basket, why not add a bottle of wine or local cider. Here you’ll find all the ingredients for a blow out breakfast or the perfect Sunday roast.
​If filling your basket has taken it out of you then you can always put your feet up next to the river on the adjoining terrace where the Farm Shop Kitchen has seating. Freshly cooked food is served here all day or just coffee and cake if you have other plans for dinner! Free wifi too ….
​Local is celebrated at this “gem of a place” (a recent customer’s words). Beautiful flowers come from 3rd generation farmer @stuarttheflowerman, meat from local farmers, pies from Dickies (made 2 minutes away by 35 year experienced curry chef, Iain Dickie) and milk from under 2 miles away.

Wykham Park Farm Shop

Set amongst 800 acres of arable land, permanent grass and woodland lies Wykham Park.
It all began in the 1980s with an honesty box at the farm gate and excess potatoes, courgettes, sweetcorn and onions being sold to the public. In 2000, a bricks and mortar farm shop replaced the honesty box and more recently the farm’s production has evolved with the introduction of asparagus, pedigree Longhorn cattle, a flock of Suffolk ewes and even a market garden, producing seasonal fruit and vegetables.
​The farm shop is open every day and the produce is as fresh as can be with vegetables literally going straight from the field to the plate. The season starts with spinach, peas, broad beans, spring greens and runner beans from the market garden topped up with a selection of wonderful giant tomatoes, basil, cucumbers and peppers from the polytunnel. As the leaves start to fall, the shelves are filled with autumn cabbages, leeks, beetroot and carrots and of course, pumpkins and squashes.
​Other root vegetables which aren’t grown on the farm come from a couple of growers near Oxford.
​This long-standing family of growers see environmental responsibility and sustainability as being at the heart of what they do and this goes hand in hand with producing great tasting food. They describe themselves as “food producers and stewards of the countryside”.
​This ethos extends to the animals they raise. In the winter months, they graze the lambs on stubble turnips adding extra sweetness to the meat. Every stage of the process bringing food to the farm shop has been carefully thought through so when filling your basket you can be assured of the highest quality.
​There is also a selection of prepared dishes thanks to the onsite kitchen, built in 2012 where home grown meat, fruit and vegetables are used to produce a selection of pies, ready meals, soups, sausage rolls and puddings to name but a few. Especially popular are the Longhorn steak and kidney pies, chicken and leek pies, Longhorn cottage pies and Longhorn beef lasagne.
​These ready meals are perfect for those who are short on time but still want to serve a healthy, delicious meal with the best quality ingredients.
​Add to this the larder products which come from small producers, many of them local, and you have a smorgasbord of goodies. There is honey from bees kept on the farm as well as locally made cakes, biscuits, traybakes and confectionery.
​It feels like they have thought of everything and it has prompted a recent customer to write “This has got to be one of the best of its kind”.   Well done Wykham Park!

Roves Farm Shop, Butchery & Café

Editorial & images supplied by Keeley Lally, Marketing Manager at Roves Farm
​Located on a family run 400 acre working farm & visitor attraction, Roves Farm Shop, Butchery & Café opened in 2017 and has gone from strength to strength.
​Stocking over 500 products, many of which are made from home-reared & locally sourced produce, on our shelves you will find a wide range of top-quality meats, free-range eggs, milk, cheeses, fresh fruit & vegetables, homemade pies, lasagnes, quiches, cakes & artisan breads.  We have an extensive range of store cupboard staple sauces, chutneys, pickled onions & jams. We also stock a variety of local craft beers, cider, ales, wines & spirits plus high-quality chocolate & sweet treats.
​Many products are also available to buy in our online shop for collection in-store.
​We are passionate about producing good quality meat from the best animals, reared to high animal welfare standards.  You can be confident knowing the ‘field to fork’ journey of all Roves-reared meat. Our lamb, pork and beef is all born & reared here on our farm. Slow grown & well hung to produce meats that are tender & full of flavour and butchered here by our experienced butchers.
​Our 40 strong herd of breeding Sussex cows are a traditional breed that thrive on our rich grassland and are renowned for producing quality meat, that is well marbled, fine in texture with a traditional flavour.
​Our home-produced prime lambs are born and reared on the farm to the highest welfare and environmental standards. We have two flocks, Poll Dorset ewes and Suffolk cross ewes. The early lambing, Poll Dorsets, supply us with new season lamb from late January. The main flock of Suffolk cross ewes provide us with a lamb supply for the rest of the year. Our lamb is always well hung for a minimum of seven days to develop flavour and produce tender, succulent cuts.
​Roves Farm pork comes from our own Gloucester Old Spot pigs, a traditional rare breed pig, producing the finest cuts of pork. Our pigs are reared outdoors under our willows and in the fields where they are free to root and forage.  The slower growth of our pigs and their stress-free environment helps produce more succulent, flavoursome meat & delicious crackling!
​In the skilled hands of our experienced butchers, Gavin & Dave, our Roves-reared meats are transformed into top quality sausages, burgers, prime cuts, mince and excellent joints.
​Our Woolly Sheep Café is open every day serving freshly prepared food, from brilliant breakfasts to light lunches & delicious homemade cake.  We have a variety of fresh, homemade dishes to choose from with many gluten, soya & dairy free options.
​Our fantastic team also handmake all the prepared meals, quiches, pies and cakes that can be found in the Farm Shop.
​The latest additions to our Farm Shop offering include a zero-waste pantry and fresh milk dispenser.
Roves Refills will enable our customers to shop more sustainably.  Just re-use your own clean plastic containers, paper or cloth bags & jars, and fill with a range of pasta, beans, pulses, nuts, oil, fruit, grains, seeds, chocolate & even sweets.
​Reducing the use of unnecessary packaging, this way of shopping is sustainable, economical & easy.  By reusing your own containers, plastic use is reduced & you are buying just what you need & so reducing food waste.
​We also sell glass jars just in case you forget to bring your own!
​​And don’t miss the Moo Station, which dispenses fresh milk, locally sourced from Berkeley Farm, which is just six miles away.  Just buy a re-usable glass bottle from the Farm Shop, dispense your milk and you’re all set.  Add a flavoured shot & you have a tasty milkshake to go! Alternatively, you can bring your own container to re-use. Another way we are helping our customers to reduce & re-use plastic and cut waste.
 We look forward to welcoming you very soon.

Bradshaw Brothers Farm Shop & Café

On the edge of Cannock Chase Country Park, you’ll find Bleakhouse Farm, home to this 4th generation family business, Bradshaw Brothers Farm Shop and Café.
Picture
 
At the heart of the farm shop is the onsite traditional butchers who work daily to produce locally sourced, quality cuts of meat perfect for the Sunday roast or flavoured sausages which might inspire you to try something a little bit different. What about pork and tomato or chilli and cheese? I can feel my mouth watering.
Picture
 
There is also a massive selection of bread which is produced in-house using traditional methods. The extensive list of artisan loaves covers all tastes from multiseed, granary and rye through to tiger bread, cheese & onion baps , baguettes and the wonderfully local and evocative Staffordshire knot.
Picture
 

​Wander past the meat counter and bakery shelves and you will discover local cider, a deli counter complete with homemade Bradshaw’s pies (“the meat is tender, the pastry’s wonderful” commented one reviewer on social media), fresh produce, gifts, hampers and various seasonal items (including the current season’s hot chocolate shots which I definitely have my eye on)… and if you cannot make it in person then all of these goodies are available to order online.
 
 
Free delivery is available to local Burntwood residents within a 3 mile radius of the shop but they will also deliver further afield to local areas Cannock, Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Lichfield for a £5 charge (orders £40 or over).

If you have small people and want to make a day of it, then the farm also hosts alpaca and other animal experiences. My favourite suggestion is the “pick your own egg and take it home for tea”. My children would have loved that when they were small!

Trading Post Farm Shop

Feature supplied by Kate at The Trading Post Farm Shop
Three-time winner of the Muddy Stiletto Award for the Best Farm Shop / Deli in Somerset & Dorset – the Trading Post Farm Shop, just off the A303 near South Petherton in Somerset, has upped its game for Christmas this year.

​Not letting anything get them down after the eventful past few months, The Trading Post are going full out on their festivities!
​In previous years, Kate and Andy, the owners of the Trading Post since 2017, have sat down with a pile of Christmas catalogues and a glass of whisky, carefully scrutinising every page to make those hard decisions –  which flavour of panettone should be stocked and which one simply won’t fit on the shelves, which boxes of chocolates, chutneys, biscuits and snacks from each range will be purchased and which ones will be left on hold for the following year. The catalogues were full of ticks, crosses and copious notes.
This year, their marker pen had an easier job as whole pages of beautiful products were excitedly circled. Every turn of the page brought something new and thrilling or joy from new packaging that perked up an existing line of products.
Then came the most difficult of all decisions – where the heck was it all going to fit? The shop, already bursting at the seams with amazing all year round produce, just wasn’t going to be big enough. 
​Rather than waiting for it all to arrive and hoping it would fit, the decision was made to purchase a marquee and create a Christmas Shop.​Early September saw the arrival of the structure and within 24 hours it was up and being filled. Over the following weeks many more beautiful products were added to the shelves. ​

​​The marquee has been an instant hit with everyone – there are even some chocolate ‘Bah Humbug’ lollies for those customers who aren’t quite in the festive spirit yet.

Featured Farm Shop – Essex

The Blackwell family has been farming in the Coggeshall area for four generations.
The ethos of our award-winning Farm Shop, Butchery and Deli is to support local
producers and farmers and over 90% of the produce we market is sourced from within a
20-mile radius.
We source our meat from our own farm or local farmers known and trusted by ourselves
for their good husbandry skills.

Our free-range chickens from Sutton Hoo, Sutton Hoo focus on high welfare; the birds live
in small groups with shelter from the elements, in mobile houses that have no artificial
lighting and are naturally ventilated.

The chickens roam freely over 40 acres of Suffolk meadows, where they are free to peck,
graze and engage in their natural behaviours. They believe that a slower grown chicken,
matured for up to 12 weeks, naturally develops quality, fuller flavour, and succulence.

Our friendly, knowledgeable butchers are always on hand to help with cuts of meat and we
are always happy to help source the more unusual meats. 

Our deli is brimming with cheese from across Europe as well as some great English
favourites. We also offer traditional hams, cooked meats, and Dingley Dell’s Artisan
selection of air-dried meats.

We have a large supply of traditionally grown seasonal veg’ and source a variety of fruits
from Sible Hedingham.

Our talented chefs within our on-site kitchen produce a selection of seasonal ready to bake
pies along with soups, sausage rolls, pasties, and dishes such as beef lasagne, cottage pie,
Moroccan lamb stew, lasagne, and many more.

Other local products we stock include, Farmer Browns Rapeseed Oil from Bures, Fairfield
Crisps from Wormingford, smoked fish from Maldon, potatoes from Manningtree, Eggs
from Stanway, and honey produced by the bees on our farm.

For those with a sweet tooth, our on-site bakers create delicious cakes, pastries, and
desserts. Each week we have different sweet treats available.

In 2015, we introduced Blackwells Catering, also based on-site. Mark, our Head Chef is on
hand to create the perfect menu for events and functions. Mark and his team are
committed to working alongside customers when planning a menu, whether it be a formal
wedding breakfast, summer picnic, hog roast, dinner party or corporate event. 

Our creative bakers are also part of this service offering personalised cakes, bakes and
cupcakes for special occasions.
