What is the history of Ellenden Farm Shop?
The family-run business in Harvington, near Evesham, was founded in 2007 by Sara and David Turner, and has since grown significantly.
What started as a farm shop has expanded to include a popular café, which opened in 2017 and serves dishes made using produce sourced from the shop and local suppliers.
The Turner family are third-generation farmers and have been farming at nearby Coughton since the 1960s, with the shop offering customers the chance to buy fresh produce directly from a working farming family.
