PYO Season
After feasting on superb quality asparagus, the PYO season is well
underway and the strawbs have never been better. We shall have
raspberries for the shop until the end of October. |
||
Blueberries We have planted blueberry bushes, to be ready for cropping in July
2010. |
||
Sunday Roast Now a 20 food mile meal, but still only £7.95 for two courses of largely Hungersheath produce. Booking is recommended on 01630 674261. |

Flavours of the month Mediterranean platters are now being served in the Tea Room as a seasonal special, alongside quintessentially English Eton Mess, with our own strawbs/rasps of course! |

| Welcome to Hungersheath Farm Shop | ||
We are a family-run dairy farm of 270 acres, located on the beautifully rural Shropshire/Staffordshire border, between Market Drayton and Newcastle-under-Lyme. We started as a pick-your-own in 1986, we then began to grow and cut asparagus for sale in 1988. We now have 25 acres on the farm growing fruit and vegetables. The Farm Shop opened in 2004, with a full butchery, selling our own and local meat. Much of the produce in the shop comes straight from the farm or locally, and we pride ourselves on supporting local businesses. At present, we buy from over 30 businesses within a 35 mile radius. Indeed, even our dedicated staff of ten all live within three miles of the shop too, so we couldn’t be more of a “local shop”! Nick and Helen Furnival "We are most famous for our asparagus, and visitors come from far and wide to sample it during its short season of May and June. It is always such a joy to see our loyal asparagus customers return each year, seeking the ultimate “king of vegetables”, as Nick puts it. “The important time for this year’s crop of asparagus was last summer, after we had finished picking. The fern grew very well, indicating a potentially healthy crop this season. We are also very excited about the new 3 acre patch. This, and the mild weather that we have been having, will give us an early start”
