Essington Farm is an award-winning establishment that seamlessly combines a farm shop, tearoom, and a 'pick your own' experience, distinguished by its on-farm butchery and deli. The farm is renowned for its free-range pork and pedigree Hereford beef, products of high welfare standards and traditional rearing methods. Since 1892, the Simkin family has sustained a legacy of quality, farming and retailing directly from their land in Essington.
The farm emphasizes freshness, with produce often sold within an hour of harvesting. Their butchery and deli, launched in March 2007, further exemplify this commitment by providing an outlet for their meats and products from neighboring farms. The restaurant, opened in 1990, features meals prepared from scratch, showcasing the farm’s yields in their purest form.
Essington Farm extends its ethos of quality and care to its free-range practices, notably in pork production. Pigs enjoy a natural, healthy life, which is evident in the superior taste and texture of the pork. The farm's approach to rearing Hereford cattle is equally meticulous, favoring a grass-fed diet that enhances the meat's flavor and nutritional value.
Furthermore, the farm's plant nursery offers an extensive range of homegrown plants and custom hanging baskets, ensuring quality and satisfaction for gardening enthusiasts. Essington Farm stands as a beacon of sustainable, quality farming and retail, inviting visitors to partake in a truly authentic farm-to-table experience.
