Welcome to

Fordhall Organic Farm

Proud to be community owned

Come & Explore Us!

A fantastic day out

Fordhall Organic Farm, in Market Drayton, north Shropshire, is England’s first community-owned farm and has been organic for over 65 years. We are completely FREE to visit – so what are you waiting for?

Visit us

We have three walking trails weaving around the farm, taking in our beautiful countryside. We offer the perfect place for a leisurely walk, to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in nature. Young adventurers can climb trees, paddle in the river, run through the fields, search for minibeasts, dip a net in the river and cool off in the shady woodland.

You’re sure to encounter a few farm animals during your visit as Fordhall is a working farm, and you’re likely to see plenty of wildlife along the way too as we farm organically and in harmony with the environment.

Treat yourself! Make sure you visit our organic café, Arthur’s Farm Kitchen. We serve freshly prepared organic, locally-sourced and seasonal dishes and light bites, drinks and cakes. Yum!

Foodie? Pop into our well-stocked Farm Shop too, for grass-fed meats, locally-grown fruit and veg, delicious cheeses and baked goods and a wide range of ethically-sourced food and drinks.

We also offer group tours, educational visits for schools and other groups, residential stays in our eco-friendly bunkhouse, events, courses, volunteering opportunities, glamping breaks in our yurts and meeting room space.
