Welcome to our online shop!
Based in North Shropshire, our regenerative farmland has been registered organic with the Soil Association since 2006, and has been chemical free since the end of the second world war. The mixed topography and diverse landscape running alongside the River Tern gives us the perfect setting to raise our cattle, sheep and pigs. We work with nature and not against it.
We are based on England's very first community farm. Fordhall Farm was saved by over 8,000 people back in 2006. The Fordhall Community Land Initiative own the land and now rent the farm to our tenant farmer Ben, who manages the livestock and runs the farm shop.
Today, we have our own on-site butchery, farm shop and online shop, from which we sell our own meat and local produce. We look forward to giving you a slice of what we have on offer from the comfort of your own home, but remember you are more than welcome to visit us in person too!
October promotion
With the nights drawing in and the temperature dropping, cosy up with loved ones this autumn and make the most of our slow cooking beef range.
Hearty and nourishing meals aren't made in an instant. Love, time and respect all come together to produce the best meals. Why not dust off the slow and pressure cookers and experiment with our range of slow grown Fordhall beef, which fits perfectly with this time of the year.
What’s happening on the farm this month?
The rams will shortly be introduced to the flock of sheep in the hope that next years lambs are well into development by the time winter arrives. They will receive a once over from the team on the farm and will get their hoofs clipped, teeth checked and fleece trimmed.
Life in the beehives slows down as we enter autumn, which gives Andrew our beekeeper time to carry out vital maintenance on the hives. This a busy end to an unusually quite summer for honey production across the farm. Don’t worry though, we still have plenty of our delicious honey available for you in our shop and online!
Behind the scenes
Have you ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes? How do we make our burgers, how do we hand bake our sausage rolls, what does the burger making process look like, and how do we make sourdough bread?
Look no further, we have a series of videos to share with you. Visit again for the next video!

CARIBBEAN STYLE MUTTON CURRY
from The Hungry Guy, Shropshire
Steve Guy, also known as The Hungry Guy, has been awarded 'Slow food England person of the year 2023'. "Everyone deserves to eat good food. I want to make food accessible to everyone".
"Slow cooking mutton helps make the meat tender and the curry unctious and really comforting to eat." It's a versatile recipe and the flavours develop further with time. Don't fear the chili heat in this recipe - go for it!"
We're fortunate and proud to have been recognised by a number of highly esteemed and well-respected papers and programmes.
