Honeywells Farm Shop continues to thrive, offering even more ways to shop with them. Whether you prefer the ease of home delivery or enjoy browsing in-store, shopping with Honeywells has never been simpler. “It’s fantastic to welcome so many new faces and make shopping easier for everyone,” says marketing manager Liz Gornall. “Home delivery has been a great option, especially for those who prefer the convenience of having fresh, quality produce brought straight to their door.”
The business began in 1973 with the Gornall family selling their own reared pork from their garage. People asked for lamb and beef, persuading brothers Anthony and John to teach themselves butchery skills. The family began offering meat and produce from nearby farms, including lamb from the Thornton family, which they still stock today. Sales expanded into the barn and in 1996, the sons took over from their parents Francis and Doris. In 2003, long before the days of farm shops, they built their modern purpose-built shop – and saw sales soar. Honeywells has 80 staff, including 11 family members, on sites at Eaves Lane, Barton Grange Garden Centre in Bilsborrow and Bents Garden and Home Centre near Leigh.
They also supply shops, pubs, schools, colleges, restaurants and hotels. The secret, Anthony says, is keeping things local. “We provide people with the very best produce at a price we feel is very affordable. We often go directly to the producers to buy, with nearly everything coming from within a 50-mile radius. And we have a fantastic band of loyal customers.”
It’s now more than the core meat business, with quality pies, delicious ready-meals, pastries, sweets, bread, vegetables, cheeses, wines, herbs and spices – anything you need to make a fantastic meal.
