Your Trusted Source for Local Produce
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 core values of 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 paying fair prices for ethically reared livestock. Our commitment extends beyond meat to include curated local cheeses, seasonal produce, and artisan goods, creating a one-stop shop for quality ingredients.The business maintains its founding ethos of connecting customers with Lancashire's finest food producers through expert service and competitive pricing. Our team's passion for food and farming is evident in our immaculate presentation, knowledgeable staff, and dedication to preserving traditional butchery skills. From our original barn location to modern facilities at Eaves Lane, Barton Grange, and Bents Garden & Home, we've expanded our range while keeping our community-focused approach. We offer cooked meats, deli products, and prepared foods alongside our renowned cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and game. Customer testimonials consistently highlight our superior product quality, professional service, and the joy of shopping in our welcoming environments.

A fabulous fresh locally sourced food shopping experience. The Cumberland sausages are as Tina would say, simply the best.

An excellent farm shop that is well worth the visit! The variety of produce here is fantastic. From a top notch butchers counter, to ready meals, fresh veg, the list is endless. Really is worth a visit. Do yourself a favour and get some of the sausage rolls, they are the best sausage rolls I've ever had. Fantastic.

Great place for meats pies and cakes, helpful staff, good quality products, most of which is home produced, little more expensive but well worth it, and if you want game like venison and pheasant etc this is the place to go. They also have a loyalty scheme. Whats not to like, also get all your Christmas goodies in one place, turkey, pigs in blankets.
