Your Trusted Source for Local Meats & Produce
Established in 1971, Honeywells Farm Shop is a family-run 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 and food halls across the region. With 10 family members involved, we maintain a steadfast commitment to traditional butchery and sourcing high-quality, locally-produced food. Our direct relationships with farmers within a 20-mile radius ensure full traceability, reduced food miles, and fair pricing for both producers and customers. The Eaves Lane farm shop, opened in 2003, expanded our offerings to include a delicatessen and gourmet provisions, while our Barton Grange and Bents Garden & Home locations continue this legacy of quality and value.Our team's decades of hands-on farming experience and passion for local food systems underpin every product we sell. From locally reared beef and free-range poultry to artisan cheeses and homemade delicacies, we provide a one-stop shop for exceptional ingredients. Customer testimonials consistently highlight our expert butchery, friendly service, and the joy of shopping in environments where professional skill and enthusiasm shine. We remain dedicated to preserving Lancashire's farming traditions while meeting modern demands for convenience and sustainability.
