A Norfolk farmer has invested £250,000 in his farm shop – expanding the business which started in a shed to meet soaring demand for local food during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sam Steggles, of Fielding Cottage, Honingham, opened the 8,000ft farm shop to stock a wider range of local food and drink. It is named the Goat Shed after the much smaller wooden self-service farm shop it replaces.
Mr Steggles said takings were 25 times higher than a year ago. Thanking customers and staff for their support, he said the pandemic had seen people’s eating habits change and they were taking more interest in local food.
