Who we are

Fordhall Farm

Based in North Shropshire, our regenerative farmland has been registered organic with the Soil Association since 2006, and chemical free since the end of the Second World War. The mixed topography and diverse landscape running alongside the River Tern gives us the perfect setting to raise our native breed cattle, sheep and pigs. All meat and produce available for sale through our farm shop in Shropshire and through courier nationwide delivery.


Fordhall’s regenerative farming system has been developed over generations of farming the land. High standards of animal welfare are one of our key principles, and we're very proud of the provenance in the meat we sell. Our beef, lamb and pork come from our animals on our farm and our chickens are from a local farm in Staffordshire. This is how we ensure you know exactly where your meat is from.


We follow a nose-to-tail ethos; a traditional approach that reduces waste, respects the animal, and gives customers access to a wider range of flavourful and often better-value cuts. In September 2025 we were proud to win the Great Taste Golden Fork Award for Sustainability. The judges said that the nose-to-tail butchery of our own carcass along with sustainable protocols across the farm shop such as reduced single-use plastic, green energy, biodegradable packaging and using the very best locally sourced produce for our shop were all important aspects in their decision.


Fordhall Farm shop was born from a desire to make the family farm sustainable, and we sell our own meat alongside carefully chosen local produce. We look forward to giving you a slice of what we have on offer from the comfort of your own home, but remember you are more than welcome to visit us in person too!

What we stand for

Why Fordhall Farm is so special

Fordhall Farm has a unique story- well actually there are many aspects to Fordhall which make it unique. There is the organic heritage as one of the first organic farms in the country, the first of its kind community ownership scheme, and the story of how Charlotte and Ben saved the family farm from development. The farm is run by a passionate team who love what they do. You will find lots more information on our farm, what we do and why we do it below.


Fordhall Farm shop was born from a desire to make the family farm sustainable by cutting out the middle-man and bringing fresh, pasture fed meat from Fordhall Farm direct to you, the customer. The family didn’t want to be dictated to by big organisations setting unrealistically low prices for their livestock, and so began the journey of selling direct to the public and taking back control.

Please take some time to visit our website and read why buying meat from Fordhall Farm is so important.
