Stand aside, Diddly Squat: a farm shop in Shropshire has been named second-best in the country in a list compiled by a national newspaper.
The newspaper has scoured the country looking for farm shops that"stand out from the herd", offering fun activities and troves of tasty goodies.
Speaking of Fordhall, The Times said:"Three brilliant trails weave through woodlands, wetlands and pasture before you reach the bakery to refuel with pasties, pork pies and sausage rolls."Then swing by the shop; the meat parcels and hampers are perfect if you want to try a bit of everything. Later, get cosy in the farm’s Shropshire-made Mongolian yurts surrounded by damson trees — you’re welcome to pick the fruit for breakfast.
After beginning to develop the business, the pair instigated a campaign to save the farm from development. In 2006, 8,000 members of the community purchased Fordhall and formed the Fordhall Community Land Initiative , the charitable and community organisation that owns the land. They said:"We are so proud that the work of the Fordhall Community Land Initiative and the shop run by our tenant farmer, Ben, have been recognised in The Times' Best Farm Shops list this week.
