A message from Ian and Victoria to Customers
After much thought and consideration over the last few months, we’ve made the decision to retire and close the Farm Shop, Coffee Shop and Farmers Market side of our business. Having built the business from scratch over the last 23 years, you will understand this has been a difficult decision to make but equally we are excited to see what comes next when we have a little more time available. We will remain involved in the farming side of things so there will still be plenty to keep us busy.
We couldn’t have succeeded without all of you, our customers, and we sincerely thank you all for your loyalty to us and for choosing locally sourced food over the years. Many of you have become friends as well as customers and we will miss all of the great chat over the counter and at the Farmers Market.
Of course, we must also express our immense gratitude to the great team at Moorhouse Farm, many of whom have been with us for a long time. All of our staff, both past and present, have been key to maintaining the quality of produce and warmth of customer service you have come to know us for.
Our last day of trading will be Saturday 5th September, so you still have several weeks to continue to come along for your regular produce. Our final Farmers Market will be at Morpeth this Saturday 1st August. Some of you will be wondering about your Christmas turkeys etc – we’ll shortly be putting some information together about other local suppliers with great quality poultry.
Once again, thank you all for a fantastic journey from the first Farmers Market 30+ years ago to now and we look forward to seeing many of you over the next few weeks.
All the best……Ian & Victoria
