With a name like Noah’s Ark Farm Shop, we probably don’t need to spell it out, but this farm shop is nestled beside a zoo farm where visitors can get up close and personal with zoo and farm animals, play in an outdoor and indoor adventure park and generally have a lovely time. The farm shop is pretty exciting too, catering to the zoo visitors but also very much supported by the local community.
The team at the farm shop take pride in sourcing locally produced goodies, aiming to reduce food miles, single-use plastics and champion sustainability.
There are mouth-watering sausages for sale alongside fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, freshly baked bread and homemade cakes, pastries and pasties all produced onsite by the team under the watchful eye of Head Chef Gary! Gary has a true passion for his craft and has worked in both Michelin star pubs and restaurants. He has 22 years’ worth of hospitality experience and loves using locally sourced produce in his cooking.
Apart from filling a basket with delicious food, visitors to the shop can put together a gift hamper from any items for sale in the shop, sit and enjoy a warming cup of coffee or purchase bedding plants for the garden. There are even seasonal workshops available with the next one in the calendar a Christmas Wreath Making workshop.
The shop opening hours have recently been updated to 9.30am to 5.30pm, seven days a week. Why not pop in?
