Originally a butchers providing a direct outlet for meats from the Bowman family's farm, this is now a busy one-stop farm shop offering locally produced vegetables in season, home bakery and ready meals as well as the meats that made their name.
Own-farm and in-store products are at the core of the business, augmented by carefully selected produce from other local farmers and artisan suppliers who are proudly credited; with a slogan like 'Meet our producers - good food begins with our suppliers' it's not surprising that they win accolades.
Beef is matured for at least 30 days - it can be seen dry-ageing, through a viewing window in the farm shop - and other specialities include thick-cut bacon and slow-growing breeds of turkey, produced on the Bowman farm for Christmas.
There's also a gift shop (quite a few imports on the shelves there) and an all day café, serving home-made soups, brown bread, carvery style lunches, desserts and freshly baked scone and tray bakes.
