Fordhall Farm Shop

Pasture fed meat

Fresh veg

Organic produce

Milk & dairy

Our Shropshire farm shop is run by tenant farmer Ben Hollins, who started the business back in 2004 at just 19 years old! Since then, the farm shop has grown to what it is today, supplying meat direct from the farm whilst complementing it with the very best local and organic produce.

Our onsite butchery stocks a selection of our own pasture-fed and free-range meats and we are proud to be able to provide full traceability across these.

All Fordhall Farm produce available for nationwide delivery.

What can I buy?

We stock a range of local and organic produce, including: Fordhall Farm meat & produce, Fordhall Farm honey, organic & free-range eggs, locally produced cheeses, organic fruit & vegetables, preserves, bread, sweet treats and much more.

We also stock a range of delicious sausage rolls, pork pies and pastries which are all handmade right here in our on-site bakery using our own free-range pork.

We even have our own smokery, inherited from the late Arthur Hollins, to make our own oak smoked bacon and more.

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 Three Gold Stars for our Gloucester Old Spot Pork Shoulder!

Drum roll...... 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.

So, what is Ben say? Well, we caught up with him and he said:

"As a producer, we are often recognised for the food we make, but this is something entirely different. This award for us acknowledges our long history with organic farming; being one of the first certified farms in the country with over 75 years of heritage started by my late father, Arthur Hollins. Our Foggage farming system of grazing cattle and sheep year-round on diverse pastures is an integral part of what we do and it’s great for everybody’s hard work to be acknowledged in this way. I am proud to be continuing Dad’s Foggage Farming system which celebrates the soil health, our livestock, biodiversity and great tasting produce at the end. Farming at Fordhall is a privilege.

“We passionately believe we should add value ourselves to everything we produce on the farm in the most sustainable way we can. Cutting out all the middleman is what makes our farm to fork ethos work for our family-run farm.

Being a Golden Fork winner is truly the pinnacle of the Great Taste awards – and we couldn’t be prouder! We’d like to thank all our customers and community who support our approach to farming and I’d also like to thank Partridges, London who sponsored our award and presented to us on the night.”

Things to do during your stay

Explore

You will be left to your own devices during your stay, and are free to explore our picturesque organic farm. We have farm trails weaving around the farm, which will take you around our pastures, woodland and along the river. Why not say hello to some of our friendly animals as you explore?

Our organic Farm Shop is a short walk away, where you can purchase delicious local produce to prepare in the yurts. We can also provide you with a hamper of your favourite goodies to make your stay stress- and decision-free – just let us know when you book.

Our yurts are designed to help you reconnect with nature, your loved ones and yourself. They are well and truly off-grid. For this reason we have no Wi-Fi facilities at the yurts. There are electricity sockets available for use at the farm in the main building, but with the Shropshire Hills as your playground, this is the perfect place to switch off!

The nature of our yurts and surroundings lends itself perfectly to families that home educate; there are so many new experiences you can enjoy with your children whilst they learn about the natural world first hand.
