The start of a new year usually prompts us to take on the motto “New Year, New Me”, with a regime of healthy eating and exercising firm in our mind. However, with a cold spell of weather, we soon snap back to wanting comfort food and cosiness. Let’s face it, January is the perfect month to embrace it!
At Becketts Farm, this time of year is all about warming meals, hearty ingredients and little treats that make the darker days feel that bit brighter. Our Farm Shop is stocked with seasonal favourites that strike a balance between wholesome and comforting; ideal for whether you’re easing into the new year gently or simply leaning into winter.
Read below our Farm Shop Favourites for January.

Seasonal root vegetables

Our shelves are fully stocked with an abundance of potatoes, carrots, parsnips and swede, and this month is a great time to make the most of British-grown roots. Our Greengrocers have produced some handy veg packs filled with all your favourites. They’re perfect for slow-cooked stews, roasted veg trays or warming soups and are a staple for any kitchen. Root vegetables are great for keeping meals nutritious without compromising on flavour.

Butchery essentials

There’s nothing quite like a proper Sunday roast or a slow-braised midweek dinner at this time of the year. From joints ideal for roasting to cuts made for casseroles, our Butchery counter has everything you need for home-cooked meals that bring everyone back to the table.
Bakery treats for cosy mornings

Cold mornings call for baked goods!

Whether it’s a fresh loaf or tea cakes for toasting, rolls for a hearty sandwich or a little sweet treat to devour with a cup of tea, our Bakery selection is perfect for those slower January mornings.

Store cupboard heroes

January is a great time to re-stock on quality essentials. Think sauces, chutneys, jams and oils that can instantly elevate simple winter meals. A fruit-filled jam for a homemade Victoria sponge or a jar of quality onion chutney to add to your sausage and mash are top of our shopping lists!

A little indulgence

While health goals are important, January doesn’t have to mean missing out. From cheeses and desserts to chocolately treats and a local tipple, a small indulgence can go a long way in making winter evenings more bearable.

 

Rather than diving in headfirst into strict routines, January is a chance to slow down, cook from scratch using top-quality ingredients and enjoy tasty meals made with care. A visit to the Farm Shop is a perfect way to reset, filling your shopping basket with seasonal produce, trusted favourites and a few treats to see you through the colder days.
Whether you’re planning hearty family dinners, quiet nights in or simply topping up your weekly shop, we’re here to help you make January that little more delicious!
