Farm Shop

Shing produces our pastured eggs locally at Astwell Castle, and through his sustainable farming practices brings us the highest quality produce. The eggs come from hens fed an organic, GM free diet, which aligns with our values. The hens are moved daily in a mobile coop and have continuous access to the outdoors. This ensures the eggs are highly nutritious and full of flavour. Eggs are available in the farm shop for £3.50 for half a dozen or £16.50 for a whole tray. To avoid disappointment, pre-ordering is recommended.

Dr Radka Gromnicova, who runs Nat Way Farm Produce, provides pastured chicken, also raised at Astwell Castle. She raises the birds from day old chicks on an organic diet. The chickens spend their entire lives out on grass during the spring, summer, and early autumn months, benefiting from a longer, healthier life than their indoor, intensively reared counterparts. Foraging for grubs and insects allows the birds to stay healthy and express their natural behaviours, resulting in high-end, flavourful meat.

Hannah Thoroughgood at The Inkpot Permaculture Organic Farm supplies our Pasture for Life–certified Organic lamb and mutton. The sheep are mob grazed, just like our cattle, resulting in delicious, great tasting meat.

Our honey comes from hives located on the farm and is produced by Bees’n Business. Simon Lawton is a local beekeeper dedicated to raising awareness and educating the public about the benefits of beekeeping and raw honey production. He is a great source of knowledge about what we can grow on the farm to support pollinators, helping the bees to thrive and produce highquality honey. Honey is available in the farm shop for £5.50 a jar.

Gemma, founder of Jimbles Jumble, is a keen forager with a real talent for producing homemade jams, chutneys, and marmalades. Her produce never fails to delight, with each batch featuring foraged ingredients that are wholesome and enjoyable for everyone. Her jars are available in the farm shop for £5 each.
