Dizzy Dairy Shop

A lot has happened since I last blogged. We will have several strings to our Dairy and Farm

We have taken the decision to open a little farm shop on the farm. So that you our customers can enjoy what we do food that conmes straight from the field to your fork. Everything in the shop will be rooted to good farming and animal welfare.

Shop background

well it all began with another seed. We have been unindated with requests for sheep milk so whilst selling out of cheese in december we had time to consider this coming year. Why not have a shop!! Whose bright idea was that!!

Selling this year obviously will be in the shop but we also plan to go to farmers markets and continue to sell at Lansdown Dairy Bude and may also open to offeres this year for other retail outlets. The shop will be small and only sell Home produced or farm produced foods. 

we plan to sell at present 

Sheep Milk 

Sheep Cheese 

Jams and marmalades

Preserves

Chutneys and pickles

Sauces 

Fresh and Frozen seasonal Meat

and Seasonal Vegatables 

Shop

The current shop you can fit three people in and one of them is me selling. so for the next few blogs we will update you as to how we are getting on.
