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!
December promotion
With the days getting colder winter warmers are high on everyone’s list. Wholesome homecooked dishes are favourites for good reason! Lasagna, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Beef Stew, Lamb Chops….
Our beef and lamb are pasture fed on our farm, giving even more flavour to our meat and more depth to your winter warmers. This December we’re offering 3 for 2, so head over to our Special Offers page where you’ll find lots of your favourites to stock up on.
What’s happening on the farm this month?
Life out on the farm can become a little harder now daylight hours have reduced quite drastically.
Ice, snow, rain and the smallest amount of sun can make day-to-day jobs slightly trickier. The diets of our livestock need to be closely studied to ensure that the pasture fed cattle are receiving the proper nutrition as growth of the grass is at its worst. Hay saved from the spring and summer is at the most valued this time of the year. The rich red clover hay provides nutrients and an abundance of protein which is much needed this side of the winter solstice.
