WE’RE DELIGHTED TO SHINE THE SPOTLIGHT ON…
*** FORDHALL ORGANIC FARM! ***

 
As England’s first community-owned farm, Fordhall is a shining example of sustainability, community spirit and organic farming at its finest.

A FARM WITH A STORY
Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Market Drayton, Fordhall Organic Farm, rears pasture-fed cattle, sheep and free-range pigs operating on a low-input, organic Foggage farming system. More than just a farm, Fordhall is a community-driven initiative, with over 8,000 nationwide landlords supporting its mission to connect farming, nature and people.

Following in the footsteps of his father, organic farming pioneer Arthur Hollins, Ben Hollins now runs the farm as a commercial business. Alongside his dedicated team, Ben manages the farm shop and catering trailers which brings Fordhall’s produce to a wider audience, all while championing sustainable farming.

THE FARM SHOP
The farm shop is a haven of fresh, ethical produce, stocked with Fordhall’s pasture-fed meats, local cheeses, organic fruit & veg, homemade pastries and sweet treats. Their on-site bakery also crafts tasty handmade sausage rolls, pork pies and oak-smoked bacon using a traditional smokery.

We’re also thrilled that Fordhall proudly stocks our very own Billington’s Gingerbread! Since 1817, Market Drayton’s artisan bakers have safeguarded this delicately spiced, crisp biscuit, infused with a secret blend of spices, a dash of rum and golden syrup. A true dunking delight, it’s best enjoyed with a hot drink or a favourite tipple, just as local farmers’ wives have done for over 200 years!

EXPLORE & STAY
If you’re visiting Fordhall, don’t miss out on Arthur’s Farm Kitchen, the on-site café that serves freshly prepared, seasonal dishes using organic ingredients from the farm and local producers. From hearty breakfasts to delicious lunches, every meal is packed with flavour and sustainability.

With free-to-access trails through woodlands, pastures and along the River Tern, Fordhall is a perfect day out for families and walkers. For those wanting to stay longer, The Straw Lodge provides unique eco-friendly accommodation for groups, retreats and school trips.

SUPPORTING OUR PARTNERSHIP
We’re incredibly proud to work with Fordhall Organic Farm, a business that shares our values of heritage, craftsmanship and high-quality food. Just as Fordhall preserves traditional organic farming, Billington’s Gingerbread continues to uphold one of the oldest gingerbread recipes in the country.

“We’ve worked alongside Image on Food for a good number of years now. We love having local produce in our shop from suppliers who care about what they make as much as we do! A popular snack for those heading out on a farm walk is often one of their Original Biscuit Bakers’ hand iced animals or Billington’s Gingerbread fingers.”
