The Farm Gate Farm Shop at Thornton Hill, three miles north of Easingwold, was one of seven finalists in the National Farm and Deli Awards 2024.

Owner Christine Parker-Nicholls said: “ We are a free-range butchery, selling our own free-range pork and lamb, as well as local grass-fed beef and free-range chicken. After several setbacks due to the pandemic, trading on local artisan markets and online, we opened our doors to our on-farm shop in July of 2022.

“With over 800 products available, our small but mighty shop has become a purveyor of artisan and local organic produce. As well as our free-range butchery counter, we sell a wide range of local chutneys, jams, dried goods, eco-friendly cleaning products, and refillable store cupboard staples. We also have developed quite a reputation locally for our wide selection of British artisan cheeses, with over 40 available.”

Thanking customers, Christine added: “Last year, we were winners of the Northern Enterprise Awards’ ‘Best family run farm shop in North Yorkshire 2023’ and LUX Global Excellence Awards’ ‘Fine Meats Retailer North Yorkshire 2023’.”
