Your Trusted Family-Run Farm Shop in Chapel Brampton
Established in 1958, we began as a family-run farming enterprise growing strawberries and potatoes, gradually expanding into a diverse agricultural business. Our commitment to seasonal produce and sustainable practices led us to pioneer asparagus imports from the eastern Mediterranean, enhancing its availability across the UK. Over six decades, we evolved into a modern farm shop collaborating with specialist British farmers to offer year-round fresh produce.Our values remain rooted in ethical sourcing, environmental responsibility, and supporting local businesses. We prioritise quality by partnering with nearby suppliers, including a historic Northampton bakery and local dairy farms. This heritage-driven approach ensures customers access the freshest, most responsibly sourced groceries while maintaining our family legacy.
