Local Food & Butchery Experts in Lancashire
Established in 1971, Honeywells Farm Shop is a family-owned business rooted in Lancashire's agricultural heritage. Our journey began with selling home-reared pork from a garage, evolving into three purpose-built farm shops while maintaining our commitment to quality and local sourcing. With 10 family members involved across generations, we combine decades of hands-on farming experience with traditional butchery techniques to deliver exceptional produce. We prioritise direct relationships with local farmers within a 20-mile radius, ensuring full traceability and reduced food miles while supporting the regional farming community. Our shops offer a comprehensive range of locally sourced meats, artisan cheeses, and specialty food items, complemented by expert customer service and a passion for sustainable food production. Through our partnerships with suppliers like the Kellett family and Paul Keyes, we maintain rigorous quality standards while offering competitive pricing.Our Christmas services, including pre-orders and car park collection, demonstrate our adaptability to customer needs without compromising our core values. As a business, we remain dedicated to educating customers about food origins and preparation, with staff providing tasting opportunities and detailed product knowledge. Our expansion to Barton Grange and Bents Garden & Home reflects our commitment to making high-quality local food accessible to wider communities. Today, we continue to operate with the same ethos that defined our garage stall: investing in locally sourced food represents the best value for our customers and the strongest support for Lancashire's agricultural future.
