How it all Began 2017
During the past few years, travelling throughout the UK visiting farm shops on a professional basis, I've spent many frustrating hair-pulling hours trawling the internet desperately trying to locate the many farm shops I planned to visit.
Whilst many are huge and spill out over two floors like mini department stores, some are situated on motorways, disguised as service stations.
Yes, Really!
Others are cute, quaint, traditional and off the beaten track and I'd come across them just by pure luck! Having spent the previous weeks planning my routes, these lovely farm shops didn't appear in any of my searching's and left me wondering 'How do their customers find them?'
What I needed was a farm shop directory.
A farm shop Yell.com perhaps?
I was astounded there was nothing like this available...it was apparent that a farm shop database was needed, a one-stop farm shop locator...and this set the cogs in motion.
Of course, I couldn't attempt this mammoth task on my own, so with my new team of over excited farm shop lovers
we set to work.
Who are we & what are we doing?
Our aim at Fabulous Farm Shops is to highlight and promote every single farm shop and the wonderful produce & products available, via reviews, features, blogs, tweets, posts, links, competitions, giveaways & recommendations.
As we come across so many wonderfully unusual, novel & quirky products on our travels, our little mascot Freddie will be twittering about them and adding his own unique, fun facts & finds along the way.
This brand new website will take many months to list & visit every farm shop. Eventually in time, we intend to cover the whole of the UK!
We would love to share our findings with you and hope our ramblings (& Freddie's) will inspire you to pay some of these Fabulous Farm Shops a visit.
If our blogs encourage you to do just that, please let them know. I'm sure they will be as chuffed as us.
Our mission is accomplished!
Have fun and enjoy your visit............ AND purchases.
In the meantime please follow us to keep up to date with the latest farm shop news.
If you own or manage a farm shop & would like a feature or a review, please email us to arrange.
Follow our (and Freddie's) journey to stay in touch with our findings!
