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!
Exciting news!
We’re absolutely delighted to announce that Fordhall Farm Shop won the Golden Fork for Sustainability award 2025, hosted by the Guild of Fine Foods.
This award is particularly coveted as you must be invited to enter, and only those winning Great Taste 3-stars are eligible. This year Great Taste 2025 saw 14,340 products entered from 110 countries, judged by a panel of more than 500 judges. From these only 273 (1.9%) were awarded a Great Taste 3-star ‘extraordinarily tasty food and drink’. Fordhall Farm Shop won one of these for our Gloucester Old Spot Pork Shoulder!
The Golden Fork for Sustainability award recognizes entrants doing good things within their business through sustainable practices. The judges said that the nose-to-tail butchery of our own carcass along with sustainable protocols across the farm shop such as reduced single-use plastic, green energy, biodegradable packaging and using the very best locally sourced produce for our shop were all important aspects in their decision.
September inspiration
Fordhall Favourite Hampers!
We’re delighted to re-launch some of our well-loved meat hampers. Meat for the week is designed to provide the basis for a hearty meal using the very best of Fordhall Farm produce, with the aim of feeding a family of 2 or 4.
We’ve also got a £5 discount on our economy hamper which will be in place for the month of September. This hamper isn’t pre-set-it may include a variety of our pork, lamb, and beef cuts such as joints, steaks and mince. A cost effective way of purchasing our produce and a great way to discover new meal ideas while helping us make full use of each carcass here in the butchery.
What’s happening on the farm this month?
The summer holidays are coming to an end shortly and farms up and down the country have been given a helping hand by family members. Here at Fordhall we were lucky to have Ben’s 12-year-old son Jamie, who lent a hand across various departments across the farm shop, butchery, catering team and farm this summer.
He wasn’t the only youngster here on the farm as throughout the warm weather we’ve welcomed many families visited and went out across our free to access farm trails and witnessed the true meaning of field to fork.
Behind the scenes

BEEF RAGU WITH TAGLIATELLE
Recipe from Ian, Staffordshire
I love this dish as it’s packed full of flavour and very easy to cook! I tend to cook as much as I can get into my hot pot in one go and freeze the rest as it gives me ideal home-made dishes with minimal effort. Perfect in Autumn and Winter and easy to cook on a school night!
I like to serve this with tagliatelle but you can use whichever pasta you prefer.
We're fortunate and proud to have been recognised by a number of highly esteemed and well-respected papers and programmes.
