At Becketts Farm we are always striving to reduce food miles and support local suppliers. This British food fortnight we are celebrating all that is local and British. With the exception of some speciality ingredients, fruit and vegetables our Farm Shop is packed to the rafters with fantastic British products and producers. Here are 16 of some of our favourite British suppliers.

Becketts Farm Honey

We produce our honey on Lyndons Farm in Earlswood. Bees will travel up to two miles from the hive, which means if you see a bee flying around Becketts Farm Shop they’re probably working with us. All the honey is small batch and can be found in our Farm Shop, but bee quick because when it’s gone its gone.
