Welcome to our online shop!
At Fordhall Farm we work with nature and not against it, allowing us to produce food you can trust, from animals raised by us on our organic farmland with care and respect. We have our own on-site butchery, and our meat is available alongside carefully selected local produce through our farm shop or online for nationwide delivery.
We have a lovely story, as our regenerative farmland has been chemical free since the end of the Second World War, and was saved by over 8,000 people in 2006 from development. We became England’s very first community farm! The Fordhall Community Land Initiative own the land and now rent the farm to our tenant farmer Ben who grew up here. He manages the livestock and runs our farm shop and butchery.
We’re certified by Pasture For Life, meaning our farmland, cattle and sheep meet very stringent, independently verified standards focused on 100% pasture-fed and high-welfare livestock farming. This slower, more considered way of farming ultimately supports the quality and flavour of our food, giving you the most succulent cuts of meat with full traceability.
We look forward to giving you a slice of what we have on offer through our online shop, but remember you’re more than welcome to visit us and our farm animals in person too!

James' Journal
We absolutely love our Gloucester Old Spot pigs, and so do the British public. I walk past them every day at work and they always make me smile. But why are they so popular? Originating in the Berkeley Vale of Gloucestershire, Gloucester Old Spot are considered as one of the best-known pig breeds in Britain today. They’re so distinctive to look at making them instantly recognisable.
This month we share a little background as to the origin of these popular British native breed and why Gloucester Old Spots are so well loved.
Farm Update
October an exciting month for our two tups! At the beginning of the month we’ll move them into the field with our breeding ewes, 160 of them! In an ideal world each ewe will be pregnant with twins as each ewe has exactly two teats. With twins each lamb will claim one side of the udder, allowing them to feed equally without competition.
We have one more cow due to calve this month. This will be the last this year. We plan to share a photo of Mum with her calf in next months update, but in the meantime Shawn wanted to share a photo of his favourite cow who recently had a calf. They're a Red Aberdeen Angus and have a beautiful copper colour to them.
Farmhouse Recipe
NIC'S GAMEKEEPER'S PIE - This recipe has been shared by Nic Tidball from Shropshire, and she shows how a small change in ingredients to a well known recipe can make a big difference!
“My recipe for this rich and heartwarming dish is a great alternative to one of my family’s favourite winter meals; Cottage Pie. The venison and use of red wine adds a touch of luxury to a classic pie and this recipe makes just 500g go a long way. To compliment the venison, serve with steamed greens such as savoy cabbage, green beans or broccoli and a warm crusty baguette”
Golden Fork Winner!
Fordhall Farm Shop won the Golden Fork for Sustainability award 2025, hosted by the Guild of Fine Food in September.
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 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. The trophy and certificate proudly sit on our butchery counter for all to see!
We're fortunate and proud to have been recognised by a number of highly esteemed and well-respected papers and programmes.
