Farm shops are becoming increasingly popular as an appetite grows for sustainable and organic local produce that can be sourced direct from the producer. A wide range of produce is usually on offer from free range butchery, dairy products and organic fruit & vegetables to artisan bakery and delicatessen.

Their aim is to try and get customers to spend as much time as possible in the farm shop. To achieve this, they often have activities to entertain children and the whole family, with some offering families the opportunity to meet and feed small farm animals. Often these facilities would include a restaurant or coffee shop to ensure visitors are catered for without the need to leave prematurely.

Whether you intend to include a small coffee shop café, offering snacks and beverages, or a full-blown restaurant, Caterplan can assist every step of the way, from design to completion, offering a turn-key solution for complete piece of mind.

Other farm shops may opt to focus purely on selling produce, and in this instance, Caterplan can assist with designing and supply all the necessary commercial refrigeration serve over counters and multi-deck display units required for a busy farm shop. We can also provide back of house prep areas for butchery, offering not only bespoke stainless-steel solutions but hygienic wall cladding and flooring solutions.

If you are thinking of opening a farm shop or need your existing one refurbished, please call us to arrange a non-obligatory consultation.
