From Fresh Eggs at the Gate to a Thriving Farm Shop

🌾 Our Story

More than 40 years ago, Bill and Jean Bradshaw placed a small table of fresh free-range eggs at the side of the road. What began as a simple, honest way to sell their own produce soon became something much bigger — the very beginning of Bradshaws Farm Shop.

Alongside the eggs came homegrown fruit and vegetables, much of it grown right here on our farm. Word spread, customers returned, and little by little the shop grew. Over the years, expansions followed as more and more people chose to shop local and support fresh, seasonal produce.

🌱 Growing From the Land

Farming has always been at the heart of what we do. Bradshaws’ philosophy remains the same today as it was over four decades ago — wherever possible, our fresh produce is homegrown or locally sourced.

Our land is used to grow a wide variety of seasonal crops including:

New potatoes, rhubarb, spring cabbage, pumpkins, courgettes, marrows, spinach, leeks, beetroot, beans, and a selection of fresh herbs.

Every season brings something new from our fields — and we’re proud that so much of what you see in the shop starts its journey just a few hundred yards away.

🏡 More Than Just a Farm Shop

As the shop grew, so did the rest of the business. Our garden centre has expanded over the years, and two large outdoor buildings now house logs, coal, compost, fertilisers and more.

In April 2009, our most significant extension was completed — doubling the size of the shop. This allowed us not only to expand our fresh produce offering, but also to introduce a wonderful range of locally produced goods including meat, bread, cakes and cheeses.

In September 2023, our most recent expansion was complete - adding a large pet shop onto our farm shop & creating more space for our garden products.

🎃 Pumpkin Picking

Throughout the summer months, we grow thousands of pumpkins and squash in preparation for one of our most popular events of the year — pumpkin picking. It has become a much-loved tradition for local families and something we look forward to every season.

🚜 Looking Ahead

Today, we continue to expand our range while staying true to our roots — growing our own produce and supporting local suppliers wherever possible.

We’re proud of where we started, grateful for the community that has supported us, and excited for the future.

We now also offer a selection of our products online, available for delivery across the local area — bringing a little bit of the farm straight to your door.
