Harwarden Estate Farm Shop is a new business just launched by the great great grandson of Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone. Charles Gladstone, has opened the shop on the site of Hawarden Castle Fruit Farm. The ethos of the shop is to promote healthy eating and real food.

As well as supplying fruit and vegetables grown on the farm they have a ‘proper’ butchers counter, freshly baked bread, and an array of local delicacies including cheeses, smoked meats and much more. They also stock a wide range of foodie delights and natural products. In the middle of the shop is a small café with plans for seating on an outdoor terrace once the weather warms up.

I was a customer of the fruit farm shop when it was just a small shed supplying fruit and veg and I am delighted to see the business expand. I have already used the shop a few times since its recent launch and have been really impressed, every time I go in I feel hungry! There is a really nice atmosphere about the place and the range of products available is very good. I can’t wait to sit on that terrace sipping coffee when the sun finally makes an appearance.

Church Farm Organics is more than a farm shop it could fit into every category of the Free Range Review! What started as a small farm shop has blossomed into Wirral's foremost organic retailer. They stock everything you can imagine. They have a large range of both organic and non organic local fresh produce including their own in house 'branch' of Edges butchers. The fresh produce is only the start they also stock a huge range of organic store cupboard and household items, they have a cafe newly refitted and expanded and also operate a campsite. There is plenty to keep the kids entertained too with tours of the farm and special days out such as egg hunts at easter and haunted hay rides at halloween. If you love food and in particular if you are interested in organic or local produce you must visit.
