FRIDAY STREET FARM
A FAMILY BUSINESS
For three generations and with over one hundred years of farming experience, the Blyth family have developed Friday Street Farm in a way that means their passion for producing quality local food and their connection with the land can be shared with a far wider community.
Our onsite farm shop, butchery and kitchen offer the freshest, most wholesome produce possible which is either home-grown, homemade or sourced and prepared locally.

SEASONAL PRODUCE
Straight from our farm fields to your baskets
As an arable farm, a range of seasonal homegrown produce is seasonally available including P.Y.O soft fruits, asparagus, sweetcorn, potatoes and pumpkins. Through working closely with our network of local farmers we are also able to source from the fields surrounding us, offering a fantastic range of other vegetables throughout the year as they come into season.
We follow the same ethos in our butchery where we take pride in sourcing carefully from local producers. Our skilled butchers are able to then prepare and offer the best possible quality to our customers.
VALUES
OUR ETHOS
We pride ourselves on the approach we take and we’ve come a long way from the original road-side stall established in 1976, but our identity hasn’t changed and our ethos remains rooted at the heart of what we do today.
High Quality
Our business is food, and it is important to us that we select the finest locally sourced produce to retail in the farm shop for enjoyment at home, this value is replicated within our Kitchen and can be sampled in our dishes.
Provenance
With an emphasis on provenance, we are committed to connecting our community to a network of valued suppliers and producers, and in so doing are able to support local and start-up businesses by providing them with a platform for distribution to a wider audience.
Sustainability
We are committed to connecting people to local farmers and producers in a sustainable and ethical way, cutting down on the carbon footprint of our produce, whilst still providing a fresh, local and high quality offering to meet our customers’ expectations.

Friday Street Farm Development Project
As part of our continual investment into the growth and longevity of our enterprise the Farm Shop was significantly extended during 2020; opening in the spring of 2021. We were fortunate enough to be granted additional funding by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development to support our plans for Friday Street Farm, contributing in-part to the expansion of the farm shop, butchery and installation of a delicatessen and walk-in cheese room. We are incredibly proud of the final result and the enhanced experience that our customers can now enjoy, as well as the opportunities it has provided for our wider community in terms of supporting producers and employment locally.
