VOTED BEST FARM SHOP IN THE UK 2007/08

As we produce our own beef we have full traceability and always have the ear tag number displayed in the shop. In addition we sell locally produced outdoor pork and local Yorkshire lamb. We also have a full game licence and always stock venison from Round Green Venison Farm and wild boar, ostrich, and during the shooting season we have all local game.

Apart from boasting a full butchery department with three full time butchers, thus been able to offer any cut you may desire - a novelty in these days of pre-packed food. We also make all our own sausage using only quality meat - no rubbish if I wouldn't eat it I certainly wouldn't expect my customers to. You are also able to get home produced dry-cured bacon, in plain, sweet or smoked.
In 2004 we started making all our own pork pies and Aberdeen Angus steak pies on site again using all our own meat and ensuring quality through and through. We recently featured on Channel 4 Prime time TV Show 'Richard and Judy' with our liquorice pork pies, with rave reviews "a belting pork pie".
We also stock many other local farm and cottage industry products from the immediate locality such as Fresh Bread, Homemade Cakes, Crisps and Nibbles, Cheeses, Fruit and Vegetables, Preserves, Curry Sauces, Pasta Sauces, Pasta, Nuts and Dried Fruit, Dressings, Olive Oil, Patchwork Pate, Fruit Pies, Milk, Yoghurts, Cream, Ice Cream and so the list goes on.

Due to the success of the shop we are just completing building the extension which will treble the size of the shop and enhance the shopping experience. Plus allow the addition of numerous new local product lines and more homemade ready made meals, and dinner party foods. It will also avoid customers queuing outside in the rain!

I started visiting Farmer Copleys about 3 years ago. I think it is an excellent farm shop. The meat sold at the butchers counter is all lovely and fresh and very tasty. I also like the additional range of foods from both the freezer cabinets and the condiments and sauces. The home baked cakes are also very good. The staff are friendly and helpful and will always recommend something if you are stuck for ideas. All in all it is an excellent farm shop and I hope it continues to grow for many years to come.
