Laid back off the A38 nr Axbridge, you’ll find The Ploughmans Farm Shop. Built only 7 yrs ago initially as an outlet for the lamb and turkeys from their own farm, along with a small variety of local produce.
Kaye (the farmers daughter) picked up the reins after studying for a completely different career and joined her family’s business as their talented master butcher.
Now, after many years of experience, Kaye produces the most incredible meat products, pies, freshly made quiches, meatballs, lasagnes, pasties & her infamous faggots.
Customers travel MILES for these faggots & bulk buy too…!
Ploughman’s Farm Shop pride themselves on the quality of their meat, even supplying their lamb to local butchers. You can pop in on a Friday or a Saturday and sample it yourself! Ploughman’s also offer freshly made sandwiches from a choice of cooked meats.
The farm shop has grown over the years and is packed with goodies including fresh fruit & vegetables, local bread, honey, Marshfield ice cream, Warrens Farm strawberries, Rose Farm chutneys & pickles and Carron Lodge cheeses, to name just a few. Along with supporting local artists and producers, there’s also a great selection of gifts and a fab range of cards available.
Whilst visiting, I had the pleasure in sampling a slice of freshly baked apple and strawberry fruit pie!
Incredibly tasty! Pop by and pick one up for yourself.
You won’t be disappointed…

Just love this place, try this one out, Barnsley lamb chops,
Min 1 inch thick, plain salt and ground pepper rub all over and in the nooks and crannies on both sides, leave uncovered in the fridge for 12 hours, at least , bring out to room temp rub all over with a good olive oil ,
Get your grill really hot grill one side to a nice golden brown and watch the beautifull fat sizzle, repeat on the other side , do not turn again,
Rest for 5 min
Job done, enjoy with whatever you fancy,
