Welcome to our online shop!
Based in North Shropshire, our regenerative farmland has been registered organic with the Soil Association since 2006, and 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, allowing us to produce food you can trust, from animals raised with care and respect. 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.
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 grew up on the farm. He manages the livestock and runs our farm shop and butchery.
Today, we have our own on-site butchery, farm shop and online shop, from which we sell our own meat alongside carefully chosen 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!
BBQ inspiration
The sun is shining! Whether you’re grilling burgers, sizzling sausages, slow-smoking ribs or preparing the perfect steak, we’ve got plenty to tempt you this BBQ season. Choose from our home-reared, pasture-fed beef and lamb, along with our delicious Gloucester Old Spot pork. All carefully raised with quality and flavour at the heart of everything we do.
From family garden gatherings to weekend feasts with friends, we’ve got the perfect cuts ready for the grill.
Save yourself time and order online for delivery straight to your door or have your order freshly prepared and ready for collection at the farm shop!
What’s happening on the farm this month?
FCLI recently completed their river friendly project funded by shareholders with the aim to improve wildlife and biodiversity in our rivers and ponds. As part of the project a cow bathing pond was created; a shallow pond filled with natural water giving a safe cooling spot for the cows.
We’ve welcomed the birth of two Red Angus calves during June. One of them was born to Shawn’s favourite red heifer, who gave birth to a female calf. Like her mother, she is a Red Angus and stands out amongst the rest of the black Angus herd, so expect to see more of her on our social media!
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, and how we make our family pies? Look no further, we have a series of videos to share with you.
This video shows a little snapshot of what it's like for Andrew our Bee Keeper as he tends to his bee hives. It's such a calm environment and really lovely to watch.

We love hearing from our customers and sharing their feedback with you all.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE
Recipe from the Fordhall Farm team
This is a forgotten favourite. Originating in Italy, this rustic recipe has some lovely fresh flavours to it.
Tender pieces of chicken are slowly simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce, infused with garlic, onions, and herbs. You can even add a splash of wine if you wish! It’s the kind of meal that fills the kitchen with warm, savory aromas and pairs perfectly with pasta, crusty bread, potatoes or a simple side of vegetables.
Golden Fork Winner 2025!
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.
