Conveniently located just a
quarter of a mile from junction 19 of the M6, Holly Tree
Farm Shop was established in 1992 by Karol and Michael
Bailey with the dream of supplying quality produce, reared and
prepared on their farm, direct to the consumer. Since then
they have collected a flock of
awards for products such as
their `Northern Pork Pillows" made from pork tenderloin
with Bury black puddings and Cox's apple marinated in wine.
Their
gluten-free British Bulldogs and Sicilian lamb sausages have
also received awards. Karolwas also runner-up in the Woman
Farmer of the Year competition; the business won the Made in
Cheshire Rural Enterprise Award 2002/2003 and, perhaps the
most prestigious accolade of all, they were acclaimed by Rick
Stein as one of his
Food Heroes. In addition to their own
meats, which are all free from routine drugs, growth promoters
and other additives, the farm shop stocks produce from other
local suppliers who maintain the same high standards of animal
welfare. A recent addition to the farm shop's amenities is
Mother Goose's Tea Room which offers an appetising choice that
includes scrumptious home-made scones and soups, light meals
and delicious cakes.
